Re: [LegacyUG] Next problem - Unsupported format
I would suggest a space is ascii code 32 which is 20 in hex. A letter A is ascii code 65 (41). That is what is stored by windows. Note they are both the same length. The confusion appears to originate as when putting a space in a command line it has to be entered as (ie 3 characters). It is not stored that way. It's just a way of telling the operating system the space is part of the surrounding characters and not some other type of dividing character. Browsers cannot display spaces as such and so display them as the hex version %20. I believe this combined path/file length is a red herring as I set up the exact path and filename as the OP and it worked fine. The file format error does not suggest it is a path/name problem but a file format error.

RE: [LegacyUG] Next problem - Unsupported format
Brian I believe the problem here is the non use of the mapped drive designation as opposed to the UNC designation. As you state UNC will cause legacy problems. I originally tested using both methods into a NAS and the OP quoted path and it worked fine using the mapped network path only. For information underscores cause DNS server problems.

Lightfoot br...@the-lightfoots.com To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Sent: Thu, 13 Aug 2015 7:15 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Next problem - Unsupported format It's within the realm of HTML code where you actually see a space in a filename become %20. Only the real geek would know the %20 is the HEX code representation of the DECIMAL code 32 which is the ASCII character SPACE. The king of Geeks could write this as 010 in Binary. Given the fact that the maximum file path cannot exceed 260 characters (256 for the filename + 3 characters for the drive such as C:\ + a null terminator) , there is seldom a technical need to avoid a space in a filename. Yes, I know the PC Police will respond by saying you should use an underscore (a bad choice because it doesn't work in some software applications) or a hyphen instead of the supposedly dreaded space. Yet the main reason for this suggested substitution is to avoid the ugly look of My20HTML20Page.html instead of My-HTML-Page.html. Another reason for the PC Police avoiding the space character is that when using the command line, one must use quotes around a filename with a space. By the way, check out Windows itself. It uses the space character in several filenames and folders such as C:\Program Files, C:\user\Saved Games, C:\user\My Documents, C:\Windows\Offline Web Pages, and more. But even Microsoft is not totally consistent because other folders use a hyphen, while still others use an underscore. So what does this all have to do with Legacy? Well, unless you really don't care how the NTFS file system stores filenames, have no plans to use the command line interface to access any Legacy files, or don't care how the name of your web page looks in the top address bar of a browser or in a link that somebody provides, but are more concerned about how your human brain handles and interprets meaningful names and phrases, then feel free to use a space in a filename. But remember the 260 character file path limit. If your files are nested that deep in so many folders each having particularly long names, then substituting a hyphen will indeed save you 2 characters for each space. I would also submit that if you have file paths approaching 260, you'd be better served by doing some housecleaning and shortening file and folder names. By the way, the very long link that Sherry provided to the PC Correct Stanford University page entitled Best practices... is only about 100 characters in length. Try to image it being about 2-1/2 times longer and you see the need for some house cleaning.

Then just type in the name of the Event that you wish to add, such as Cemetery. You can further specify what fields you want to appear in this event or just keep the default Description, Date, and Place. When you want to do that for another individual, the event name of Cemetery will already be in the Master List (so if you start to type Cem, the word Cemetery will probably automatically appear as your choice. Once that Event has been created, you can add the picture that you want, location, addition notes, etc., just like any other event. Make sure you check out the Edit Event Sentence Definition... button at the bottom to make sure Legacy will say what you want it to say on your output pages. When you go to create your web pages (Internet tab), make sure you select Individual Events on the WHAT tab. But just like any other event, Legacy limits itself to only one preferred picture per event even though you can attach multiple pictures to any single event. There is a work-around to this issue also but it gets a little messy by creating another event called Photo. That comes in handy when you want to publish more than one photo of an individual such as infant, young adult, mature adult, etc. You should now understand how adding these user defined events can help publish your additional info for web pages that the built-in events in Legacy won't normally do. One currently existing downside of these Cemetery Defined Events (and probably any other user defined event), is that Tech Support has just confirmed to me that there is a problem with performing search operations on the Date field, especially in looking for empty date fields. It has been added to the Bug Tracker list and will be fixed in a future update. No big deal if you never have to do such detailed searches on your Cemetery Events; just use them as designed and they'll appear on your web pages looking something like Noted events in his life were:. From there you'll see a chronological listing of events you've added for a person such as census, residence, military, probate, obituary, and cemetery.

The problem occurs ONLY with User Defined Events and the DATE on those User Defined Events. Searching on a DATE parameter of any of the built-in events seems to work properly so it must have something to do with User Defined Events. For example, I have a User Defined Events named Cemetery. I have multiple events created that have no Date entered on that Event. I would like to create a SEARCH LIST of all those Cemetery events that don't have a DATE. The procedure would seem simple: 1. Look For: Individual 2. Where to Look: Event-Name 3. How to Look: Equal To 4. What to Look For: Cemetery (because this event was previously created, its name will automatically appear in the drop down list) Second Condition, AND 1. Look for: Individual 2. Where to Look: Event-Date 3. How to Look: Equal To 4. What to Look For: (leave blank) I've checked Clear List before Search so that I would come up with a new list. I probably have close to 10,000 Cemetery Events in my Family file and there are probably 1,000-2,000 of those that do not have a date. I was hoping that my Search List would contain only those 1-2 thousand events without a Date but instead the Search List includes all events that have After or Before as part of a date, i.e. After 1900. In other words, Legacy is seeing any date with any text preceding it as a Null entry. I've even created a very small test file with User Defined Events and Dates with After or Before in the Date field and each Search List will include those text entries instead of only events with a truly null date entry. To make matters worse, the same search list will also include some, but not all such events, that have a valid Date entry such as 21 Aug 1900 when they shouldn't be included. That one I can't figure out at all. Is this a bug with User Created Events or is there another way to obtain my Search List with only null dates on the event?

re: [LegacyUG] Potential Problem with dates
Ron For successful analysis of the problem the following is really required. Actual dates and field name all date fields of an offending record Other field names that contain data although actual data not required. What error the potential problems report is showing for that data.

re: [LegacyUG] Lockup, wrong record displayed and Error 381 (Strange behavour)
I can now reproduce the error to order although not the lockup or 381 error. But wrong record being displayed can be reproduced. It happens every time the back button is pressed 3 or more times in rapid succession then pressed again. Problem passed to Legacy support. I will report back what happens.

The code behind the back button (both on quick access and normal toolbars) does not always step to previous record as shown in the history list. The problem is seen mostly if multiple mouse clicks are made. Sometimes the move to a random record happens when the screen catches up with mouse clicks and sometimes on the next use of the back button. If the move to a random record happens that record appears at the top of the history list even though one is meant to be stepping back through the list. I confirm this did not happen with version 7 and is not a fdb problem as files repaired and compacted and also exported to a new family file (fdb). It does not appear to be legacy exe file corruption as happens identically on 2 machines. Neither is it operating system or mouse problem as both operating system and mice are different on the 2 machines. See if I can get anywhere.

RE: [LegacyUG] Next problem - Unsupported format
Surely, if the NAS drive were mapped to a PC drive as previously discussed it should be (and I’m assuming the NAS drive is configured as drive z) Z:\Family Tree AW\The Lloyds/Percy Mott\Percy Thurger Leonard Mott\Percy Mott\Service Record\filename.jpg I am confused by \\NASXXX\(Z) file:///\\NASXXX\(Z) and the direction of the slashes (typo?). When I try to connect using legacy to the NAS using the \\NASXX file:///\\NASXX method it fails with message unrecognised media drive although it is visible through “my network”. But mapping works perfectly even with the long path. My NAS (QNAP) is addressed as in legacy P:\FamilyHistory\HISTORY\MULTIMED\ Exactly the same as any other drive With P mapped to \\192.168.1.73\X file:///\\192.168.1.73\X with passwords etc. remembered as part of the mapping Regards Adrian From: marion wimsett [mailto:2wi...@gmail.com] Sent: 25 June 2015 06:13 To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Next problem - Unsupported format I will try and elucidate on the Folders and Files, and in counting I included all spaces and the drive details, it went along in this manner: (\\NASXXX\ file:///\\NASXXX\ (Z)/Family Tree AW/The Lloyds/Percy Mott/Percy Thurger Leonard Mott/Percy Mott/Service Record In the Service Record folder there were 15 pages of jpgs, all within the format required for Legacy. In the Percy Mott folder there was also one page called Opening Record which opened up in Legacy media without a problem. (In other words the ones that wouldn't open were in one extra Folder)/. I played with Page 1, saved it as the original name and saved it as a new name, and still none of the photos would open up in Legacy Media in the Service Record Folder. In desperation I moved the folder from The Lloyds and placed it in the Family Tree AW folder.I cannot remember at this stage if the photos would open or not (I was a little frustrated to say the least) I have a feeling they still didn't open as I then moved the Service Record folder into the Percy Mott folder, together with the Opening Record jpg which was also in there. At this stage I went back into Legacy and did the search to link the photo of page 1 - and the record linked, and so did the remaining 14 pages. This left the original Folder of Percy Thurger Leonard Mott obsolete so that was deleted. All photos are now under: (\\NASXXX\ file:///\\NASXXX\ (Z)/Family Tree AW/Percy Mott. Hope this explains some of the steps I undertook - whether it gives us any answers as to why the photos would not open in a path that was less than 255 characters I have no idea. Please, before anyone says that it is not a good idea to have so many Folders, as I have explained in previous posts, this is my husband's tree. The files have been brought over to the NAS from his Mac and they are in the order he stored them!!! I appreciate everyone's input and if there is an answer I would be eternally grateful!.

In a previous post you mentioned something about 100 characters which I find quite large unless your file is buried several additional folders deep. If you counted all the characters in your file path, how does that compare to Legacy’s claim of 255? Hopefully it’s not a misunderstanding of Windows so-called library folders such as “My Documents” or “My Pictures” because those names are just shortcuts and the true path is usually something like “C:\Users\UserName\My Documents\”.

RE: [LegacyUG] Next problem - Unsupported format
Marion Have had a look in the internal structure of the legacy (access based) database structure using ms access and the allowed file lengths are as follows.

It either tags ancestors only (with or without spouses and siblings depending on settings) and ignores cousins. Or it includes all connected people even if they are blood relations or not. Legacy obviously can do it as it needs to find the ones I want to tag for the relationship report, but there appears no advanced tagging option that covers the same situation.
