[LegacyUG] adding an item to a box
I am not sure if this is appropriate but I wonder if anyone can tell me how to add a 'non conventional' item to a box on a chart I wish to add 'see Chart 1/2/3' etc to the bottom of a box for specific people in order to direct someone to other appropriate charts in a printed format. I know how to select the normal items for inclusion in the box - but can't work out how to achieve this with my own addition. This is to help with following collateral lines. Any help welcomed I have the latest Legacy update for my programme. My Charting programme is 7.4 Thanks Lyn 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/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
RE: [LegacyUG] Civil War Military Records
I don't have any experience with Civil War records specifically, but I doubt that I would put each record as an event. Rather I would use a Military Service Event (I think it is a standard Legacy Event) or possibly an Enlisted Event (not sure if this is standard or one I created) and use each record as a source having created a Master Source for each type of document / record you have. The specifics (such as record number etc.) for each document / record would be added to source detail. I would add any details regarding the actual service into the Notes section of the Event. Not sure what I would call the source derived from the documents that have no specific title - but if they came from a web site for instance I think I would list the source as Internet Site, URL of site in Source Detail and put the information contained in the Text box. It may well be that these documents simply confirm details from other more extensive documents and so would be a second source for one Event - indeed it may be that numerous documents are all sources for one Event unless the person served in several different conflicts / units / whatever. Hope I've made myself clear.

So for the documents that I know what they are, I'm going to enter each document separately as it's own event, but not sure if the title of the document should be the event name or something like Civil War Military Service with the document name as the description, then the date of occurrence, and the location listed on the document, with any other notes entered in the notes section for that event.

Re: [LegacyUG] Civil War Military Records
How I do it is use one "Military Service" event and summarize what I want to include in reports and such in the notes. If I have multiple sources, say a couple of different books, I'll treat those as different sources in Legacy as well. However, if I find a collection of 35 cards/pages of military records (say from something like FootNote), then I bunch those into one source of "Compiled Military Service Records for XXX" or something like that. I realize you did say you wanted to treat each separately. But, that's just me, sounds like you have a need/desire to break them down more granular perhaps than I do.

Re: [LegacyUG] Screen Moves Back and Forth
I've seen this on occasion too. I don't remember exactly what I did to fix it. I *think* I've only see this happen when I do not have Legacy running full screen, and the display is right at the edge of requiring scrollbars. Again, I *think* what is happening is that that something in the UI keeps showing and hiding the scrollbars, making the screen jump. The whole point of that is try resizing the window up or down a bit to see if it goes away. If you are already maximized, sorry, I don't know what to say about that.

Re: [LegacyUG] restore from merge backup
Yes. I had forgotten that midstream there are some options uniquely avalable, that disappear as a choice after decisions/saves have been I am to picky, I never start a merge until positive I need it, so never second guess my plan. I am to paranoid about making errors on my part. What I meant was, that at some point the 'TO BE MERGED', has finished the process, and is now in the new version of the old DB, as an intergral part. I avoid this option. Sorry for any confusion.

Diane, I have no idea what causes this problem but I was concerned that after re-installing Legacy perhaps you would have been better off to use a Legacy backup zip file or the FDB file rather than importing a gedcom.

Re: [LegacyUG] restore from merge backup
This screen comes up after click CLOSE to close the Merge window. The next window that pops up is called MERGE COMPLETE. At the bottom of that window is a box to check to show this window at the end of every merge. Possibly you have unchecked this sometime in the past and that is why you are not seeing the window now. Maybe support can tell you how to undo that setting For example, I just merged one of my people in my file and the window states: "The merge process is complete. You should examine your Family File to make sure the Merge was successful and complete.

I believe that The Powers That Be have, in their wisdom (or lack of it!) taken what *I* believe to be the backward step of no longer forbidding HTML in LUG posts. There is nothing to stop you viewing your e-mails in a larger font, even if they are in plain text. -- Jenny M Benson 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/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
[LegacyUG] Error 3314
Hi all I have just recently downloaded the upadate for deluxe and am finding this error which is not mentioned on the online troubleshooting. Error saving picture Error 3314. The field 'tblBR.IDBPPic' cannot contain a null value because the required property for this field is set to true. Enter a value in this field. Would you like to try again etc. I can only push Quit and it quits right out of Legacy, and I loose my latest work. Any clues. I have done a maintenance check, and nothing is wrong.? Thanks heaps Regards Gwen 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/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
