Here in South Africa, this is a common problem. On the high-veldt here, we are prone to some very violent thunderstorms which can knock the power out or make it dip. We make extensive use of Surge Protection on mains outlets and, indeed, on telephone jacks. Doesn't stop the power outages or data corruptions, but it does help to prevent lightening entering the house. Glad to know that other people around the world are facing similar problems :-) -- 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
RE: [LegacyUG] Power outage now errors and other issues
Hi Scott and Charles, I agree with Charles, you need to backup frequently and not just to your computer, use DVD's, USP's, external harddrives, unline websites, whatever you have at hand because a power surge could destroy your computer's hard drive. What I have done to help avoid the kind of problem that you are having Scott is that I invested in a battery powered backup, I use APC PowerChute which will give me about 30 plus minutes of power which will allow me plenty of time to back up my data and multimedia files and then exit my program properly.

Re: [LegacyUG] Step-children.... in Family Group Sheets
Jill, Let me correct my previous post. Setting the "Show 1/2 kids" setting works on the family view, but not the printed family group sheet. To do what you want, you need to link each step child to the desired couple (remember that children can be linked to more than one set of parents).

RE: [LegacyUG] Power outage now errors and other issues
Scott, database programs (of any kind) kind do some very strange things when not properly closed, or exited from their normal routines. The only remedy that I am aware of is frequent good backups. Perhaps others on the list may have more specific information relative to the Access database used by Legacy. Charles E.

I would start by shutting down Legacy and restoring the .usr's from a backup. If you have never backed up your .usr files you may be out of luck. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools 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

Jill, You can, but I thought that you had received details of how to do it. Are you still having problems? If so I will be happy to give full steps.
