RE: [LegacyUG] Searching globally
Edward, I don't think that this can be done globally from within Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Searching globally
There are eight note fields. The seven 'Notes-X', and 'Event-Notes'. Example: Using the Search tool Individual - 'Notes-Birth Place' - 'Not equal to' - ' ' (leave blank), will show you, on eight searches, all your notes with something in them. Looking through them each, if needed. Then go to the Master Location list. If in every case Mcr means exactly one Manchester, then you can COMBINE together. (Should be done already). If more than one possible, then take each location in the list, 'show people', tag them each, then determine which is accurate, use the COMBINE tool. This is more inclusive, and possibly easier, if not faster, than finding the pin in the haystack of a Gedcom-word document, since it needs to be printed to paper, (I can't be SURE I found all on a screen before scrolling to the next page). This is part of the learning curve in producing genealogical data. Most of us will admit to doing the same thing at one point. I was warned at the time, but I said, 'I don't need to worry, I will always remember what my abbr. mean'. I have two that I did 12 years ago, that I haven't a clue what I meant. I couldn't tell where you have abbreviations at? but this should cover all.

Re: [LegacyUG] Searching globally
Gee, thanks, Mike! When I first read your response, I took your tone to be that of someone who was tired of seeing questions from ignorant members of the Legacy user community. You told me to wake up as if I was blind or stupid. Am I wrong? You've never responded like that before, have you? I was looking at the Search function that results from the Toolbar button. I use this very often and am pretty well-versed with it. That is what I assumed Ron was talking about. But before you saying anything else, I know - I shouldn't assume anything. Since I couldn't find it there, I thought I would ask what I thought was an innocent question. I am not an ignorant user. I have done many of my own updates using Access. I just know that there are many functions of the program itself that I haven't needed or looked for in all the years I've used it. Mary Mike Fry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: M.

Joyce, To clarify, I was referring to the Search tab (on the top row on the task bar) not the Icon - if that is what you mean by button. In any event you still have a problem. I have seen a reference to this problem before but cannot remember the details, nor can I find them, and would suggest the following courses of action: 1. Try FileFile MaintenanceCheck/Repair (not optimistic but you never know) 2. Close Legacy, leave for a few minutes and restart 3. Shut the computer down and leave for 10 minutes then restart (always surprising how often (2) or (3) work 4. Go to your Legacy folder and delete Search.usr (Legacy will recreate it) 5.

RE: [LegacyUG] Searching globally
Actually, I had been up since 4:00 AM, almost 3 hours before I read your email. I hadn't had my caffeine yet either! Sorry!

When I first read your response, I took your tone to be that of someone who was tired of seeing questions from ignorant members of the Legacy user community. You told me to wake up as if I was blind or stupid. Am I wrong? You've never responded like that before, have you? No. Nothing like that. Guess it was the first message of the day and I hadn't had the necessary infusion of caffeine at the time. Thought you, like me, hadn't been up long. I shouldn't try to be funny until I'm at one with the day! I'm really not a morning person. Much better in the evening and at night. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg.
