Re: [LegacyUG] Forms Need to know where to set location
Thank you both Ron and Mike, I've moved things around so much in the past on my 5 Terabytes and partitions, I thought I may have messed things up. I remembered so many directories could be set via Options-> Customize -> Locations there was not an option there, I figured it out myself about 5 minutes before I received Mike's email, and I initally forgot to click on browse and later saw some mention of this in the help. Initially there was nothing displayed at the bottom of the window as the help suggests as to the current path, mine was blank. All my files were in the directory structure already and via browse I was able to get things back to normal. We probably need to add this to the Locations page and any other setable directories to be constant with human interface guidelines. Maybe an enhancement request. thanks, john Mike Fry wrote: Ron Ferguson wrote: Mike Fry wrote: John Magyari wrote: Ver 7.0.0.109 Deluxe 1) Current when I go to Reports->All Reports->Forms Center NOTHING APPEARS in the forms section 2) When I check Options Customize I do not see where I can set a location for forms Is it somewhere else? Go back to your Forms Centre and click the Browse... button. From there, navigate to where the forms are stored - normally the Forms subdirectory within the Legacy folder - you should see two further subdirectories: Census Forms and Relationship Diagrams. You're there! Click the OK button and everything should be visible. -- Best regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg. 10/11/09 06:39:00 Mike, For some users nothing appears at all so one can't navigate - it was that situation which I thought John meant. Ron Ferguson I know! We see the query often enough. But some people may inadvertently have lost or corrupted their settings and hadn't realised that the way to get their forms back was through the Browse... button. As a more permanent solution, Millennia could create a ZIP file containing the current form files, and allow people to download them if they want them. Then, the forms can be removed from the main Legacy installation file. A small reduction of bloat, but a move towards a more structured and compartmentalised program.

My Legacy version is located: R:\Program Files\Millennia\Legacy7 When I go to that directory I do see a subdirectory Forms which contain the forms I want to look at through Legacy. thanks, john 10/11/09 06:39:00 John, this is a known bug, but as far as I know nobody has managed to work out why/when it happens, hence no solution is available as yet.
