[LegacyUG] Search for burial Pics?
I am trying to get gravestone pictures for as many of the individuals in my Legacy DB that I can. When I do get one, I attach it as a burial picture. I have 508 individuals that I have added burial locations for. I know that I have pictures for 261 of those individuals because I add a comment in the Research notes when I add the picture. Is there a way to use the search facility to find out which of the 508 individuals does not have a burial picture? That would allow me to add them to FindAGrave and request a picture. I could not find a way to add 'attached pictures' as a search option.

Re: [LegacyUG] Census List Needs Refining
One other enhancement that would help would having the ability to exclude someone from a particular census. There are some people who you just cannot find in a particular census and marking them as excluded/can't find would make the list easier to use. And an option for the list to include or exclude these individuals would be nice.

Re: [LegacyUG] Dates in CSV file
Excel doesn't recognize dates prior to 1900 so it will leave those alone. Dates starting with 1900 are converted to a number so you can do 'arithmetic' on them. Thus full dates are converted and partial dates are not. You must have the date formatting in excel set up to show m/d/. Those that aren't recognized as dates aren't formatted. Paul On 2/28/2012 3:07 PM, M. Brenzel wrote: I won't be able to try it until later tonight. But I can tell you that it appears to only affect full dates after 1 Dec 1900. Dates in the 20th and 21st centuries seem to be affected if the full date has been entered. Any dates prior to that are captured correctly in the CSV file and therefore, open correctly in Excel. For example, 19 Jul 1905 is displayed in Legacy with the BirthD field in tblIR = 0019071905 and BirthSD = 19050719. The CSV file shows it as 19-Jul-05 and when opened in Excel, the fx displays it as 7/19/2005.

I may be quite wrong about this, but I have an idea that Legacy will accept dates input in any of several formats, but displays them in the format chosen by the user. If this is the case, I think dates will be exported to the CSV file in the format they were entered, not in the format they were displayed. You could test this by entering a couple of dates in different formats and then export them and seeing how they look in Excel.

It does have an option but this is one of the places where Legacy flexibility comes in.
