I'm familiar with the minimized button in the lower left corner, at least the one that I used to get as I used Legacy in XP Pro. Using other products in Win 7, I can minimize and maximize at will with no problem. When minimizing the clipboard or anything else that that gives me the opportunity to minimize a window in Legacy, it's completely lost. It's not in the lower left corner, it doesn't go to the taskbar and hide in the Legacy Logo. At this point I cannot type anything, I cannot reverse the process, I cannot close Legacy. I can do nothing else but shut down my pc, using either the start button or using Ctr./Alt/Del. Then after booting up, I re-open Legacy and try to remember not to minimize. I have deleted Legacy and reinstalled with the same response. E-mailing to legacy support Ron suggested that I delete a User file 2 and thought that might be the problem. I did that to no avail. I'm not sure if it's a problem with W-7 or with Legacy but with W-7 using other software, I'm able to minimize and maximize without a problem. I think I mentioned that I'm using Legacy 7, latest build. How have you set up the Windows 7 Taskbar? Have you set the Auto-hide attribute off? If so, the minimised window is hiding underneath the permanently displayed Taskbar. If that doesn't work - try using the Alt-Tab key to cycle through the windows of what you have running. I've found that a minimised Source Clipboard is restored. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
[LegacyUG] Trouble with source clipboard
Me again - I'm spending a lot of time at the moment entering data sent by fellow researchers. I am trying to utilise the source clipboard to make my job easier. I have saved several sources to the clipboard, so I have a source relating to the fact that I got the info from a Research Report sent by the fellow researcher, plus three for BDM Index entries available online (i.e. a b/c index; m/c index and d/c index). When I switch between one and the other the three Index sources work perfectly. EXCEPT, I have to actually load the source I want to use, click SAVE (top right corner, not SAVE A CLIPBOARD) but then go back into the event and click on the - icon or the three bar icon again before the source takes. But the biggest problem is that when I LOAD the Clipboard I created for the reference to the fellow researcher (after using one of the other sources from the clipboard) it has lost some information, and gained extra characters that I never put there - and always the same. The source detail should contain the name and email address of the researcher, plus the name of the document that contains the information (e.g. Jan Roberts [poo...@ozemail.com.au] (31.01.10) family info.doc). It should also have Today's Date, and nothing in the Text / Comments area. After switching back to this source clipboard I get the following: Jan Roberts [poo...@ozemail.com.au] (31.01.10) - i.e. no document name. In Today's Date I get 0. In the Text / Comments area I get space 0 in the Actual Source Text box, and the same in the Comments about the Citation box. I have tried deleting all saved clipboard entries, I have added the source to different positions in the clipboard - I have tried different names for the source. Nothing works to make this source clipboard behave as it should. I should add that I have also previously created another source called Research Email, which has had much the same information included - except no document name included with the email address. It worked fine. I know I have been having a few strange problems with Legacy lately, most of which have mysteriously righted themselves after I've fired off a LUG call for help (and to date I've not really experienced a lot of the glitches other people seem to have) but this has been going on for days now and it is driving me nuts. Can anyone reproduce my problems. Or is it literally a glitch in my system for some reason?

RE: [LegacyUG] Trouble with source clipboard
I'll give up again! Seems the answer to (some) of my problems is to fire off a question to LUG - next time I enter data the problem seems to have solved itself! My recalcitrant source clipboard entry is now retaining all info as entered, without extra unwanted characters. However, I still have the problem of having to make sure I 'use' a changed source twice after switching between source clipboard entries. I can see that once having selected the alternative source I MIGHT have to actually use it - but once I have selected that new source and clicked SAVE I would have expected that source to be saved to the event. I'm quite certain there are events I have entered recently that do not in fact have the additional source documented because I have neglected to save it twice. The problem doesn't exist if I repeatedly use the same source (and I can change details successfully) - it is only when I swap between sources. Maybe - having fired off another request for help - the problem will disappear when I start Legacy tomorrow or later today. By the way, I have downloaded the latest version (7.4) and problem still exists.

[LegacyUG] Military Service Event
What is intended to go in the description? Entering World War II or PFC US Marine Corps doesn't look right in the generated sentence to me. For the default template: [HeShe] served in the military [Desc]... I've entered , US Marine Corps, in the Description filed so that it reads something like this: He served in the military, US Marine Corps, from 1940 to 1944. The notes field includes He was wounded during the D-Day invasion of Saipan and received the Purple Heart. However, the added commas DO NOT look good on a FGS. What to do? I have maybe a dozen documents as part of his military file. I've captured the time period, Purple Heart, branch, and could add another sentence to the notes to include PFC. I am thinking that is the highlights. So, what I was thinking I'd do is source all of those documents to a single military service event. Before I go down that road, thought I'd see if any of you would have reasons I shouldn't, but should included multiple events for some reason, and how you would enter the info so it appears in good form on any report.

On the Spouse Screen (click the Spouse Icon), your aunt should have the two marriages with the first marriage at the top. The two children in question should be linked to this first marriage. The next bit depends on how you wish to show these two kids. You can leave them just linked to the first marriage and they will show as half-kids on the Family View screen for the second marriage. Or additionally you can link them to the second marriage as either step, or adopted. In which case they will show twice on Family View and also in Reports. Hope that helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] Military Service Event
Of course. *BUT* Because the intended use is not apparent to me, I want to get a better understanding before going and and making such changes. I don't feel I have enough information and/or experience with Legacy to make the determination as to when and if I should right now, and am looking for more than the 'it depends' answers that seem to cover any question one could ask about Legacy. If you or anyone else have any input that would help a newbie make informed decisions, I'd be grateful.

[LegacyUG] SourceWriter: help with source detail
Up to this point, I've been creating a new SourceWriter master source for each source. For instance, for the 1850 Cincinnati census, I've created a new master source for each census record for each family and then link each family member to that master source, but I have not used the source detail at all. Today I tried creating a single master source and then individual source detail for each of the associated people. It's logical, of course, but when I went to re-assign the master source, I found there was no way to re-assign the source detail from a previous entry as well. 2 questions: IS there a way to re-assign the source detail from one individual to another individual? Is there a way to call up the source detail entries for each master source? Thanks so much for you help :) Deborah Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7.4 now available
I have been trying 7.4 on the newFamilySearch. It works great except for one problem: The list of names on the left that are being worked on can be scrolled by the wheel on the mouse. But I often wish to scroll the screens on the right, and am used to using the wheel. When the mouse cursor is on the data screens on the right, I expect that screen to scroll with the wheel, but instead I move a name on the left list and the program obediently starts to retrieve the new data. I recognize that the wheel works that way in many programs, and I can have that problem in those programs, but it seems that the wheel would be more useful in moving the data rather than selecting a name on the list. Am I being too picky? -- Carlct...@centurytel.net Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Location List 7.4
Dave, it is my understanding that Legacy has never liked the word County in there. I came from a program that actually suggested putting Co. at the end of every county and I really liked that as it was more specific. I wish Legacy was nicer about that.

Re: [LegacyUG] Master Location List 7.4
Your understanding may be incorrect. I use the word County in my locations - it does not cause any problems in Legacy that I've ever encountered in over 2 years of use. The mapping finds my locations without any problem. I don't really pay much attention to the Geo Locations since the mapping was added but before that County did not cause any problem for me in Geo Locations either. Linda M.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7.4 now available
Carl, I don't quite understand your question. Can you not scroll the list in the nFS screen ? Whatever the problem, you should not need to exit nFS and reload it. Possibly change your filter at the top left. You may be just looking at direct line ancestors ? If so, change your filter. Take a look at Geoff's video listed below.

I came from a program that actually suggested putting Co. at the end of every county and I really liked that as it was more specific. I wish Legacy was nicer about that. Legacy by default is programmed to not have County or Co. in the field where users write the county name for USA locations. However this is a user- selectable item and Millennia has provided a way, albeit not obvious, for users that wish otherwise to have their choice. I have arranged Legacy to function with Co. after county names and have absolutely no problems running Legacy this way. To get this feature and change the default it is necessary to make a copy of Legacy's GeoExtraCodes.txt file and name it to GeoExtraCodes-Alt.txt Then edit that Alt file in a text editor (e.g. NotePad), following the instructions at the beginning of the file, to obtain the choice you'd like. There are messages in the archives detailing this procedure, or if you wish, get back here for further details.

Carl, For now, yes. Your question reminded me that we need the ability to change the root person upon whom the percentages are based. I'll see what we can do.

I don't quite understand your question. Can you not scroll the list in the nFS screen ? Whatever the problem, you should not need to exit nFS and reload it. Possibly change your filter at the top left. The names the filter works on depend upon the one that was highlighted in Legacy when you choose nFS. Filtering just uses those same names. I have 18000 names in my database, so selecting all the names is not an option. Similarly, tag or focus requires working on the Legacy database, which requires exiting the nFS screen then re-establishing it. All I want to do is change the original highlighted name so I can use a different snippet of names to work on, but I don't see how without the exit and re-signing in. -- Carlct...@centurytel.net Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
Re: [LegacyUG] Error 3021 in V7.0x
Hi Keith, Thanks Ron - will continue addressing the issue. Seems I can simply click NO and get around it - it is just annoying! I think you missed something here - what Ron told you does provide a solution that will probably work. Continuing to click NO and not fixing the actual problem is not a resolution! To recap, Ron said in his post to go to the Legacy Home tab in your Legacy program, then Online troubleshooting help then Solutions by Error Number. You can also go to the Legacy web site and go to the Help Centre, which lands you at the same place - http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Help.asp#SolutionsByNumber Then locate your number and click on it, and read what it says. Most likely, in my experience, the solution offered that will solve your problem, is #3 - run File Maintenance - Check/Repair. I've had to do it a few times over the years when I've seen the same error that you've reported. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Howard -- Kaiwaka, Northland, New Zealand http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wendyh65/ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Ewendyh65/ Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
