When a child is highlighted in the scrolling grid of children, the text, whether
originally red for females or blue for males, changes colour to white. This is
very easy to see against a blue background. Using the default(?) 'Windows 7
Scenic' style.

Go to Options > Customize > Data Format 3.6 and change from 'Initial

Then go to the Master Location List (View > Master List) and edit each

I have all the options for letter case set to "Don't Change What I

Have tried every different Design Style now - the same issue is still there

Explicitly - I have a lot of Danish ancestors.
Therefore I use the Denmark country abbreviation DK (big D, big K).
Legacy changes it to Dk (big D, little k) - without asking.

Where - the Location file.

This is not a language issue.

While USA is spelled USA, DK is spelled Dk (big D, little k).
Since I have a lot of Danish ancestors, I use DK (big D, big K) a lot.

You're going to have to be a little more explicit. Spelling changes, where?

Re: [LegacyUG] Lack of Trust

[Cathy Pinner]

Jim,

This doesn't make a lot of sense.

Are you saying you install Legacy and don't choose the language
version before opening your data?

Changing language for your data file even if just from English US to
English Australia is enough to lose your own sentence definitions and
revert to the default - and I think something may have been done
about that in 8 - I know there was a discussion at some point.

But what spelling is being changed in your own data?

Is it that you haven't set the same fonts in the new installation?
Sounds like characters are mapping to a different one and I think
that could happen if you were using a different character set.

That's the only thing I can think of that would change the
"spellling" of something you've entered.

Cathy

[LegacyUG] Lack of Trust

[Karen and Jim]

Hey,

In the past (and I'm still using v.5)
when I shift to another computer,
install Legacy and my data,
Legacy makes spelling changes
without asking me first.

I think this was a very bad policy.
And it caused me several hours
to change things back to original.
I know I can change this default
setting before I install my data.
But during install Legacy doesn't ask
if I want to keep my data the way I wrote it.
And I forget Legacy thinks it knows better
how I want certain foreign words spelled.
Later after installing my data, I discover ...
!@#$%^&

Legacy should trust us.
Legacy should have the courtesy to ask
if we want any changes.  That should
be the default in my opinion.
Legacy should trust us first.

Has this spelling default been changed in versions
later than v.5?  If so, I may buy the newer version
even if it is fatter and slower.

I've used several genealogy programs
starting with Roots II back in the 1980s.
Legacy has been the best.  I even suffer
Windoz $#!+ so I can use Legacy.

I'm sorry you had this problem. This is a good time to remind folks:
NEVER test software on data that isn't backed up. Any software can

[LegacyUG] A problem with shared events?

[David Newton]

I have raised a ticket about this with Legacy but that was 9 days ago
and I have had no response. Does anybody else have the same problem?

The problem is this: I share a census event where the owner - head of
household - and one of his sons have the same name. When I do an
individual or family group sheet with the option to include event
sharers set, then in the Owner's shared list the son of the same name is
missing. All others who share the event include the full list. If I
change the son's name, for example, by adding Jr so that he does not
have the same name, then he shows up in the list.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sort by RIN vs Sort by User ID

[Ron Ferguson]

Kurt,

I’m trying to go too fast before going on hols.!

My point was that the 3 boxes can actually be used for anything the user likes, 
hence AFN can be used for Ahnentafel numbers. I do not know how the field sorts 
since I have never wanted to use it.

Yes, I know of the AFN field.  AFN stands for Ancestral File Number and its 
primary use is intended as a link to the Ancestral File which was a predecessor 
to Family Search Family Tree.  As such I believe it is also an alpha-numeric 
field and would still be using a character sort.  A dedicated Ahnentafel field 
would be a strictly numeric field.

I looked at this on the Index Tab with the User ID column added and set as the 
sort/search option.



The sort being applied to the User ID field is a character sort rather than a 
numeric sort.  So the order will be 1, 10, … 19, 100, … 199, 1000, … 1999, 
until all the first digit 1’s are exhausted, then 2, 20 ..29, 200 … 299, etc



As it is currently programmed, you would need to put leading zeros on your 
ahnentafel numbers to get them to sort as you want.  Probably not an easy task 
if you have a lot of them and/or a deep tree.  (ie, 1 might need to be 
01) Probably easiest to just understand how the sort is working.



A suggested enhancement for the program would be to have an option for a 
numeric sort on User ID.  Would be a bit tricky if there were some non-numeric 
values in the field.  Might be easier to have a separate Ahnentafel field and a 
Set Ahnentafel function (similar to Set Relations and Set Direct Line Preferred 
and Set Ancestor Colors).

I am using my User ID field to record the appropriate Ahnentafel number of each

So I have two questions:

For those who use the User ID - do you predominantly use numbers or letters or 
a combination of both

For the developers - how is the User ID field sorted please?

[LegacyUG] Run time error 6

[Carl Cox]

I am looking at a database I have not used for quite a while. When I start
going down the pedigree, I get a Run Time Error 6, overflow. Evidently that
error happens when creating reports, but I am just looking at the data. I
suspect that there is a bad link somewhere, but every time I try to look for
it I get the error and Legacy closes. I looked at the help screen, which
talks about making web pages, which I am not doing. I followed the steps Jim
Terry suggested, but no change, running file maintenance > check repair. If
I could get it to quite disappearing, I could find the bad link and correct
it. Any suggestions?

Carl

Equal to will only work if what you are looking for is the ONLY data in

Re: [LegacyUG] Sort by RIN vs Sort by User ID

[David Newton]

We have to use what we are comfortable using. I am a retired
mathematician and I find the Dollarhide numbering very natural and easy
to interpret.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sort by RIN vs Sort by User ID

Kurt,

There already is an option for a separate AFN on the Individual’s Information 
Screen.

Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Sort by RIN vs Sort by User ID

I looked at this on the Index Tab with the User ID column added and set as the 
sort/search option.



The sort being applied to the User ID field is a character sort rather than a 
numeric sort.  So the order will be 1, 10, … 19, 100, … 199, 1000, … 1999, 
until all the first digit 1’s are exhausted, then 2, 20 ..29, 200 … 299, etc



As it is currently programmed, you would need to put leading zeros on your 
ahnentafel numbers to get them to sort as you want.  Probably not an easy task 
if you have a lot of them and/or a deep tree.  (ie, 1 might need to be 
01) Probably easiest to just understand how the sort is working.



A suggested enhancement for the program would be to have an option for a 
numeric sort on User ID.  Would be a bit tricky if there were some non-numeric 
values in the field.  Might be easier to have a separate Ahnentafel field and a 
Set Ahnentafel function (similar to Set Relations and Set Direct Line Preferred 
and Set Ancestor Colors).

Subject: [LegacyUG] Sort by RIN vs Sort by User ID



Just wondering, when I sort by RIN, the RIN numbers are in numerical order - 
which is good.

However, when I sort by User ID, the numbers I have entered are Not in 
numerical order, and so my names are not sorted at all really, they are simply 
collected together.

I am using my User ID field to record the appropriate Ahnentafel number of each 
of my direct line



So I have two questions:

For those who use the User ID - do you predominantly use numbers or letters or 
a combination of both

For the developers - how is the User ID field sorted please?

Thanks

RE: [LegacyUG] Linking media to source citations

[Kurt Kneeland]

Also note that my comments were from looking at the Individual's Media Center 
(Media icon on the Individual's Information window) rather than the global 
Media Center (Tools->Picture Center).  Same thoughts/concepts apply, but some 
of the details are different.

OK the situation seems to be that any media linked to a person, event, master 
source or source citation is recognized by Media Center in its picture list by 
the + sign in the U column.

For anything other than 'source' media the Media center can also cycle through 
the individuals linked to the media, via the Next/Prev arrows in the right hand 
column on the Picture List tab.

However, individuals indirectly connected via a source cannot be found via the 
Picture List tab even though the media shows as linked.

It is so close!!

RE: [LegacyUG] Search information in Notes

[Kurt Kneeland]

You can use Search -> Find

In the Where to Search you can select any one of the note fields

Under How to Look, select Contains

Under What to Look For enter your search string



I don’t think it will take it in the form you showed.  If you just enter it as 
Grange Farm, it will look for that phrase.

If you want it to look for Grange and Farm as separate words, you’ll need look 
just for Grange, click the And option and set up the second condition to look 
for Farm.



Otherwise, you can use the 2nd and 3rd conditions, with the Or option, to 
search up to 3 different Note fields at one time.



On the Where to Look list, most of the Note fields are grouped together, but 
the one for Event-Notes which applies to custom events, is listed separately 
further down on the list.

text is red for female.

I have made several alterations but still cannot find anything to change
this colour - does anyone else have this colour or managed to change it?
Please

Marion

This topic probably will be covered in due course, but I don't think the
videos for Legacy 8 are ready yet.

If you open Help, you will see "Tutorial" on the right-hand side.  Click
"Tutorial Lessons" and scroll down to the exercise "How to search for
individuals" under the Intermediate heading.

Re: [LegacyUG] Linking media to source citations

[David Newton]

OK the situation seems to be that any media linked to a person, event,
master source or source citation is recognized by Media Center in its
picture list by the + sign in the U column.

For anything other than 'source' media the Media center can also cycle
through the individuals linked to the media, via the Next/Prev arrows in
the right hand column on the Picture List tab.

However, individuals indirectly connected via a source cannot be found
via the Picture List tab even though the media shows as linked.

It is so close!!

RE: [LegacyUG] Search information in Notes

[Mike Forryan]

Hi Jenny
Thanks for your help and guidance. I now understand that there is no global 
search facility across all database fields.
Can you give me some guidance as to how to search the notes fields please. Is 
there a video guide on this?
I have looked at the search facilities but cannot see how to do the search.
Thanks
Mike

I'm a bit confused because your subject is "Search information in Notes"
and then you say "a global search on all data".  Do you mean that "Grange Farm" 
might be within any of the 6 Notes fields?

Unfortunately, Legacy can only search on 3 criteria at a time so to cover all 
the Notes fields you would need to Search twice.

There isn't a global Search which searches every field in the database.

Re: [LegacyUG] potential problem alerts

[Boyd Miller]

The next step, when you have got the names to Initial caps is to set ALL
the data format options to "Don't change what I enter".

This keeps the correct case for O’Brien, McKenzie, le Moignan, St
Helier, LaPort, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Barton in the Beans, and
Borris-in-Ossory.

If you want to show uppercase surnames on the family screen, then in
Data Format > 3.4 Displaying Surnames, tick “Show SURNAMES in uppercase
letters”.  Similarly, in reports go to Report Options > Format >
Uppercase SURNAMES.

Re: [LegacyUG] Font size on Pedigree report

[Boyd Miller]

Kathy,
I have reset to the default fonts which should have all the data in
10pt.  I'm using short locationsand the amount of data doesn't seem to
be the issue.

The first generation with 8 lines is a smaller font than 2nd, 3rd and
4th which have 7/6 lines of data.  But then 5th gen with only 4/3 lines
and 6th with only name and birth date, and plenty of space, have gone
back to a font even smaller than the first generation.

In V7.5 all data is the same font.  Either way, with my pattern of
variations or with yours, something is definitely wrong in Version 8.
There is also the problem of the names running into the line under.
Does anybody have another take on this issue?

[LegacyUG] Search information in Notes

[Mike Forryan]

I have some 1800 records in my Legacy 8. I need to search the whole database
for specifics. For example I am sure from memory that there is information
in the notes about a "Grange Farm" but I cannot find it.

Is there a way to do a global search on all data with "Grange+Farm" as a
search criteria?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Mike

Re: [LegacyUG] Sort by RIN vs Sort by User ID

[David Newton]

I use the UserID as a two letter alphabetic code which identified the
root of the particular subtree followed by a modified Dollarhide number
within the subtree. The sorting seems to be standard alphanumeric
ignoring the fact that part of it is a number, so for example DN1024.0
will come before DN2.0

I did briefly experiment with filling out the numeric part with leading
zeroes but gave up when I realized that (a) it looks ridiculous and,
more importantly, (b) it means I have to decide on an upper limit on the
number of individuals in advance.

[LegacyUG] Sort by RIN vs Sort by User ID

[Kathy Thompson]

Just wondering, when I sort by RIN, the RIN numbers are in numerical order
- which is good.
However, when I sort by User ID, the numbers I have entered are Not in
numerical order, and so my names are not sorted at all really, they are
simply collected together.
I am using my User ID field to record the appropriate Ahnentafel number of
each of my direct line

So I have two questions:

For those who use the User ID - do you predominantly use numbers or letters
or a combination of both

For the developers - how is the User ID field sorted please?

Thanks

Re: [LegacyUG] Potential Problems: Surname all Uppercase

[Jenny MacKay]

I'm having the same problem. I emailed support and they said it was a bug,
but no fix as yet in the last few updates. Guess they're flat out. I
stopped fixing them as I couldn't see a way to do it globally. I might try
the first letter caps, that someone suggested and see if that works.

Re: [LegacyUG] Font size on Pedigree report

[Kathy Thompson]

I have almost the opposite issue.

My first, second, third, and fourth generations are smaller while
generations 5 & 6 are larger

I take this to be that in gens 1-4 it is trying to include all relevant
data while in gen 5 it includes only name & birthdate and in gen 6 it is
name only, no dates at all.
