RE: [LegacyUG] OCCUPATIONS LIST
Hi Everyone I was looking to have a master list like 'locations' that would show me all the individuals I had entered who did a specific job compiled from data I had already entered under 'occupation'. There are a number of research advantages to such a list. Just a couple = If like me you have families continually giving children same names but they follow different profession then if you get an apprenticeship record or occupation details in a source it's easier to locate correct person.Helps track families' life-style and migration if they have done work affected by industrialisation and other changes. Useful for looking in sources you might not otherwise consider. I have often found links to how they met future spouses in this way.

Re: [LegacyUG] Apple question
It's difficult or impossible to have one computer answer every need. I got so tired of dealing with Windows quirks and failures that I finally went down to the Apple store and told them to give me a computer, don't show me the receipt, I don't care what it costs, just give me what I need. You will probably pay more, but you will be happy. Dealing with using Legacy on a Mac will be a small hassle. It's a shame Legacy can't get with the program, Apple's share of the market is only going to continue to increase. I had a desktop all my life and now can't understand why. I take my laptop everywhere. It's a 15 inch which borders on being too large on an airplane but I do a lot of image manipulation and websites so I need a larger screen. It weighs about 5 pounds, even though it is slim, it still is a little heavy. If you don't need a big screen for images, then a 13 would work well. You get used to the keyboard to where now, a real keyboard feels weird. You could always buy a USB keyboard for home use. Now, I have been talking about a Macbook Pro. Apple is coming out with a 15 Macbook Air with a stronger processor and a larger SSD hard drive next month. The Air is half the weight and much slimmer than a Pro. The SSD hard drive makes the machine far more responsive even though the Pro is very responsive in it's own right. One way they make it lighter and slimmer other than eliminating the old style harddrive with it's tendency to fail (no moving parts in the SSD) is the elimination of the CD/DVD drive. To be able to use CDs/DVDs, you need to buy a separate drive that you would plug in as needed. I never realized how little I used that until I began considering buying an Air. People who switch from a Windows machine to Apple are considered cult members and maybe that's true. At a minimum, I drink the Kool-Aide. Apple derives it's reputation from the fact that Apple makes both software and the hardware. They have very tight control over the software and total control over the hardware. Windows makes only software that hopes to work well with hardware that comes from a hundred manufacturers, a daunting task. Apple's software has to work only with Apple hardware. The hassle is that occasionally you come across a software company that only makes a Windows version. I would never trade the dependability and usability of my Mac just to run one Windows software. The switch will entail a learning curve, but Apple provides unlimited one to one in-store support (I say unlimited a you can go in any number of times, but they won't spend all day with you) and free classes and you can also pay for a year's worth on one to one support. They also provide a year of telephone support. The help in the stores is a revelation in itself. Do yourself a favor. I'm guessing your friends feel the same way.

RE: [LegacyUG] OCCUPATIONS LIST
Maybe a worthwhile option would be for the Occupation Description field to display a drop down list of occupations that you have already added such that as you started to type in the field the list reduced down. This type of functionality is possible in MSAccess forms so should be just as easy to produce in Legacy. It would allow you to standardise within your own database without affecting the base functionality of Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] OCCUPATIONS LIST
There are two ways you can create a report like this: 1. Click on the Reports icon, select the Books/Other tab and then the Event report. You can create a report on one specific event type for any or all persons. 2. Create a Name List or Search List report. Bring up the Name List or your Search List, click on Print and add up to 30 fields of data (in the Deluxe) to the report. You can search for all people who were grocers by clicking on the Search icon, selecting the Detailed Search tab and do the following search: Look for whom?

[LegacyUG] Any reports of problems with the latest update??
I'm wondering if anyone has had any problems with their database after the latest update? When I opened Legacy after the recent update I noticed a problem with several locations. All of a sudden Legacy took random locations and assigned them to hundreds of people the location didn't belong to. I now have 300+ people that all got married at the same cemetery. I haven't checked all locations but so far have found 4 locations that were randomly assigned where they didn't belong. So I went to one of my backups. The locations are fine, but when I started Legacy today (with my backup that I had been using for a couple of days) my entire line was gone. My husband's line is fine, but all of a sudden I didn't have any ancestors. They were all still in the database, but had just suddenly disconnected from me. So I had to reconnect everyone. It's getting very frustrating! Anyone else have any problems??

Diane: I reported a problem with the latest software update, related to web page creation a week ago: my saved parameters for the web page setup were not loaded automatically, and subsequently overwritten with apparently some default values. It's now under investigation, but your problems sounds similar enough in some respects that it needs looking into.

[LegacyUG] Proper placement of place names
A member of my local users group is asking some questions about the proper placement of certain types of place names in Legacy. Typically, we enter the U.S. place names in the format: City, County, State, Country which is four positions with the country in the fourth position. If we are missing a place name, for example the city, we would enter a comma in the first position to indicate its absence to ensure that the rest of the place names are in their proper positions (i.e. , County, State, Country). Now, here are the questions: 1) If we have a place name that is Of somewhere (e.g. Of Ann Arundel County, Maryland), would you include the word OF in the county position? Or something else? 2) How do we handle the non-US place names that have more than 4 positions? She gives an example of St. Jean De Mortagne, Alencon, Orne, France where St. Jean appears to be the parish and Mortagne appears to be the city. What is Alencon? Is Orne the province? How would you enter a place such as this in Legacy? Should it be entered exactly as I have typed without a comma between St. Jean and Mortagne? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

[LegacyUG] Proper placement of place names
The short answer is do whatever you want. The long answer is that there appears to be at least 3 ways to handle this. My way is to include everything in the location name. So I may have something like Plot7, Row 123, Whatever Cemetery, 123-135, whatever street, sometown, some county, some country. I never have double commas in any of my addresses. Version 2 is to stick strictly to the 4-field convention and put double-commas to show missing data. Version 3 is to restrict the location to towns (villages etc.), not to include double-commas, street addresses or cemetery names, church names or the like, but to use as many fields as you need. I'm sure someone else will suggest version 4, 5 etc. there have been a lot of threads on this issue. It may be an idea to search the archives Cheers Tony 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Re: [LegacyUG] OCCUPATIONS LIST
Alan, There is no Occupation Description field where your suggestion could be applied. In Legacy Occupation is an event.

Since Occupation is only one of the many event names in the Event Master List I do not think you can link a database table to the description only when the Event name selected is Occupation and not have it linked for all the other Events.
