Re: [LegacyUG] Survey - Syncing

Ian,

Those only connected by links to the data file.  I think you may be 
looking at the size of the data folder.  If you have a lot of back ups 
in it the folder could easily get to that size. the data file is the one 
with (name).fdb.  For instance, my own data folder  has 16 days of back 
up files and is 16.5 gb.  but my data file (name).fdb is only 516.740 kb.

Re: [LegacyUG] Survey - Syncing

Margaret,

On the second computer, copy the .fdb  into the data folder (it will 
overwrite the old one) and copy any updated media folders to the second 
computer also, and you in business and up to date on that computer.  
This also works in reverse ie:  updating computer 1 from cpmputer 2.  I 
will say that for this to work smoothly your paths to the files ( where 
the Legacy folders are located)  should be the same on both computers. 
If they are not, You will have to fiddle with the locations in the 
options  6.2  and possibly 6.1.

It's strange that we all seem to have different methods to get around

this very irritating  problem.  The only way I can resize Legacy

windows is to drag the pointer/arrow and release the mouse button

quickly (before the window gets there).  If I hold the mouse button

down until Legacy's window catches up it will revert to the original

position.  However, dragging the mouse pointer to the new position

and releasing the button prematurely works every time.

I suspect that the good results some have had doing it in small

increments is due to them unintentionally releasing the mouse button

sooner.

Re: [LegacyUG] Have Lost My Access to Legacy 9

have Windoze re-installed. We lost everything. The HP machine was fine 
after the update. Both machines use AVG.



I guess the moral of the story is:


Backup before an upgrade, especially to WIndoze (although in our case

I would really warn people about the April upgrade too. It seems like 
it is a major deal but has little gain in functionality. YMMV

After following this thread, I think your problem stems from the Windows

April  update to windows 10 to version 1803. Especially affected are
Toshiba and machines using Avast and AVG antivirus.  I have two

Re: [LegacyUG] a Warning, and another problem with the FAG

[Jerry Kime]

In Legacy 8 I was adding the number to source detail, and in Version 9 I 
still do this as well as the spot for the number on the individual's 
page.  Since this mistake usually happens when I and working with a 
particular family group, I simply check the rest of the family members 
that do not have the number on their page, but have a source cited. and 
I find it with just a couple of checks It is always my error of 
copying the wrong number - by not clearing the clip board before 
entering a new number, hence the duplicate number.   It is an annoyance 
but no big deal.

I would very much like the FAG numbers to be unique, however the

the Find a Grave ID back to the individual the ID belongs to.  You can 
search Find a Grave using the ID(s) listed below for who it should be 
added to.

    Find A Grave ID = 77730037

And it wipes out both the good and the bad numbers.,  Now while the 
good is easy to recover because  they capture it and report ,   the 
bad is lost.  So in effect Legacy programmers have programed a 
scenario that looses a clients data.

Using the new version, in the family view, I’ve found, at least in my
case, what may be an issue. Wondering if anyone else had had this?

For example, using a wife for whom I never had parents before, when I
right click on the “add father” or “add mother” - the window that
opens is the individual view of the person I am trying to add the
parents to.

Same issue – if I have the parents’ names already in place and I right
click on the name of eit her one, a pop-up allows me to click “edit the
father” or “edit the mother”. When clicking on either choice, the
individual view for the child (not either parent) opens for editing
purposes.

I wasn’t this way in ver. 8.

Anybody else experiencing “right-click” issues?

Thanks
