Re: [LegacyUG] new update
Cathy – The Source List Name is the problem I was referring to. Same problem I had with V.8. However, I just tried to use S with other data fields and they also do not change.

Re: [LegacyUG] new update
Yes, but unfortunately it did not fix Issue #7608 - Search & Replace not working for Source Writer master sources. Very frustrating to me because this was an issue that was finally fixed in Version 8, but then resurrected itself when Version 9 was issued. For a "extreme lumper" and 100% user of Source Writer, that wants to make my sources consistent, this makes me pull my hair out of my head. Very disappointed.

Re: [LegacyUG] New features suggestion
I use queries in MS Access to preprocess (ie, move data around) the Legacy “fdb” database (in a temporary fdb file) so that Legacy can create a gedcom (using the “Legacy” option) that best displays my data in TNG. The main issue I have with the transfer of data from Legacy to TNG is with sources and media. I am an extreme “splitter” – meaning that every source document is given a Master Source name. I name and file my sources, and associated media files, using the File ID (3225 in the example below). My source names typically look like this: Source List Name: 3225 - City Directory, CA, Santa Rosa; 1918 - Adelbert G. Quigley Family To achieve a “true” alphabetical sort of the sources in TNG, I use MS Access queries on tblBR (Media Files) and tblSR (Sources) to change the Master Source name to: Source List Name: City Directory, CA, Santa Rosa; 1918 - Adelbert G. Quigley Family [3225] I leave the File ID in the name so that I can search for it in TNG, which allows ad hoc searches. My media files typically look like this: Picture File Name: 3225_IMG.jpg Caption: City Directory, CA, Santa Rosa - Adelbert G. Quigley Family; Date: 1918 I use MS Access queries on tblBR (Media Files), tblSR (Sources) and tblAR (Addresses, incl. Repositories) to change the media file data so that it shows the date and adds the repository for display in TNG: Picture File Name: 3225_IMG.jpg Caption: City Directory, CA, Santa Rosa - Adelbert G. Quigley Family; Description: 1918 [from Ancestry.com] The queries also allow me to check for missing or incorrect File IDs for sources and media, and for missing Repositories. These omissions/errors have to be corrected in Legacy before the query process is completed. >>>>>>>>>> Regarding Scott Hall’s original question about transferring User ID values to the Find a Grave ID, it looks like this could be relatively easily done with queries in MS Access. The User ID is in the UserRef field in tblIR (Individual List). The FAG ID is in the Value field in tblIV (Find a Grave List). The two tables are linked by the common ID field. Obviously, you should work with a copy of your fdb file until you confirm that your queries work. Another option would be to export fields from each table and work with them in MS Excel and then copy back into MS Access.
