Re: [LegacyUG] Changing Drives
Nothing seems to be working as far as the media goes. My data is fine,thank goodness but I had over 12,000 media items attached.Pictures,census,military and all kinds of vital records. That is why I needed to move them to an external hard drive as my C drive is only 120 Gigs. But it seems like I didn't do it properly. I thought I could just move them to the external hard drive and change where Legacy looked for them but that hasn't worked. It seems like I have all the right locations listed for it to look in but something is still off. I hadn't done as Cathy suggested - choose Properties, then the Location tab - but it was too late for that. I should have asked before I moved things. Thanks all for the suggestions but does anybody have any more ideas?

[LegacyUG] automatic reset to default setings
Today when I opened my file it gave me a small box that said it was resetting to default my settings. Why I don't know. I did just do file maintenance on it yesterday. Today after opening my Family view only has individuals names listed,no other info such as birth,death,ect but still does have my pictures. However when you open the individuals screen all my info is there so I didn't loose it but it doesn't show up on the Family View. My Index of individuals is also gone completely. Help, just what did I do wrong and please how can I fix it?? My backups don't seem to help because as soon as I open it, it also changes to the current form. Any ideas?? I am using current version 7.5.0.208 the latest I think. -- Sheila Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

[LegacyUG] Find A Grave for Legacy
I hope this isn't considered off topic as this is to use with Legacy. Anyone using Find a Grave for Legacy?? I am trying but it seems as if your names must follow strict guidelines. In my database I have added a comment in the suffix field for some. Such as wife of if I don't have a last name. However this seems to throw off the extracting of names for the purpose of matching them with Find A Grave memorials. I have too many this way to correct them plus I really find it helpful.

[LegacyUG] Data File clean-up
I just looked at my C:\Legacy\Data\ file and I see multiple files. Some back to a time when I had named the files differently.

The best way would be to open each one in Legacy, inspect it to make sure you wish to delete it, then click File | Delete Family File... to remove it and all its related files. It places everything in the Windows Recycle Bin so you can restore it if you make a mistake. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools/index.htm http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools NOTE TO LUG USERS: Use plain text if you want me to read your post.

[LegacyUG] Customizing colors
Hi all, please help! I was attempting to customize the colors and made several changes and checked them out. Then back and forth several times changing things. Now the connection to change the colors won't open. Program just locks up and I have to close it. This seems to be the only thing affected otherwise the program is still working if I reopen it. Now I have a very ugly screen as I was experimenting. -- Sheila Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Re: [LegacyUG] Customizing colors
Thanks again,but I finally gave up and set it back to default which worked but I also lost my other customization settings. Now if I can just remember how I had my other settings. That's why I didn't want to go back to default. Appreciate that you guys got back to me so quickly.
