Re: [LegacyUG] Non-existent Locations
Ron, Thanks. My concern is that if I purge them and they are in the database someplace, like a note, will that address be deleted from the note? For instance, I have a location that reads 613 Grand St but is not shown connected to any individual. I used the find and replace feature of FTM16 and found that is the birth place of an ancestor and is mentioned in his notes. I confirmed that it does exist in the notes section in Legacy. My question is will that address be deleted from the notes? I have many bad addresses like this that transferred in from FTM. The purge unused location options is not selective and since I don't know where they are all located I am concerned that if I purge them and get rid of them I may remove important info.

RE: [LegacyUG] Non-existent Locations
Lew, OK, got you! No, the reference will not be deleted from your notes. The Locations link only to Events (including BMD), hence if a Location is no longer associated with an Event then it is shown as empty. It does not affect anything else, whether you leave it or not.

Re: [LegacyUG] Non-existent Locations
Thanks again, Ron. It worked OK. Apparently only the link to Virtual Earth is removed... No changes are made to the actual database.

Re: [LegacyUG] Non-existent Locations
Thanks, Dennis but... If the reference could not be found in the main file, then it would not be found in the back-up either. Legacy's search and replace function will find the reference but it don't tell you where it is. Lew 2009/3/25 Dennis M.
