Re: [LegacyUG] Advanced Tagging Screen

[Brian Kelly]

The underline on the tags indicate that those are the ones displayed on 
name lists and search lists. You can choose not to show any tags on name 
lists in Option 1.5. Choosing no tags should remove the underlines.

 I have 9 tags, all underlined, with three used. Those showing 0 entries are 
currently emptied and could be reused. I'm not sure of the significance of the 
underline.

Hello,

I was working on two different lines at different times and inadvertently
created a duplicate.

 

Can someone provide me with the steps to merge these individuals?

Re: [LegacyUG] Search/Replace

[Cathy Pinner]

Gloria,
That sounds very strange but it may possibly have something to do with 
the accented character?

But it doesn't make sense to me.
The space between Given Names and Surnames is supplied in the output 
where Given Name and Surname are put together. It does not come from 
having a space at the end of the Given Names field.
In your Alt. Names do you have the  Surname in the Given Names field? 
That's the only way I can think that the space could be missing.
If da Silva is actually in the Surname field for this Alternate Name, 
please take this up with Support.

Thanks Cathy & Kathy for responding. I am seeing this in my alternate 
names; 1) Search tab in the Family View, 2) Search Replace tab. In 
that box is 1) Find Where, 2) Find What, and 3) Replacement Text.

Example of what I did that removed the space:
1) Alt. given names
2) Joao(with no space)
3) João(with no space)
I assume not having a space after 2) is what caused the problem. I now 
have alternate names such as Joãoda Silva. It should be João da Silva.

Thanks again,
Gloria

I lost the space when I Searched/Replaced



Cathy Pinner 
Thursday, 15 August 2024 10:16 AM
Gloria, how did they lose the space?

Where are you seeing this?

If in a Report, make sure you are looking at it at 100% or greater as 
at lower percentages the space and even some letters may not be clear.

Hi Everyone,

How do you correct given and alternate names that have lost the space? 
For example, what was once John Charles, _ with a surname or no 
surname, is now JohnCharles,. I tried variations in the 'How to 
Find' and 'How to Replace' in the Search & Replace to no avail. Does 
this mean I have to correct each individual manually?

Re: [LegacyUG] Sharing feature

Crystal,
Where are the notes missing?

There are new options for Notes in Reports in Legacy 10 so go to the 
Report, click the Report Options button and on the Include tab in the 
Event section click the Event Options button and check the Note options 
carefully.

Re: [LegacyUG] Unlinking a Child

[Evelyn ..]

Hi Rick,
I have found that if I link an additional set of parents (with correct
father and mother) then the last step in that linking process lets me
unlink from the 1st set of parents. That way I never end up with an Orphan
child not linked to any parent. This is especially helpful when I get
interrupted in the middle of the process.
Have fun!
Evelyn

Re: [LegacyUG] Unlinking a Child

[Leon Chapman]

Rick:


  1.
Just go into family view that has the father and mother with Child you want to 
unlink
  2.
Write down child info - name , b. Date so you can relink later
  3.
Right click on Child, and click Unlink  - I would unlink from both parents.
  4.
Go to Family view where you want the Child to be part of the family
  5.
In child area, click Add a New Child & then Click Link an existing Son
  6.
Look up the son with the info you have from step 2 and link the son to the new 
family

That's it!

I have a child that is linked to the correct mother but the wrong father.  I

Looking for a step by step guide for unlinking a child.

I see how to unlink a child but it say from both mother and father.

  1.  Is there a way to just unlink from the father?
  2.  Is the unlinked child still available from the name list or does he go 
somewhere else in Legacy?
  3.  How do I relink him with the correct father?

Hi Linda in Iowa, I just finally had a chance to check what you ask me
about checking the block in the edit screen at the bottom of the edit
screen and yes, it is checked. Any other thoughts? Thank you for your help.

When in the edit screen of an event (census in your case), have you clicked
on the little itty bitty box that says "add the event notes with the
sentence"?  It's right below the section where you entered the detail.s

[LegacyUG] Sharing feature

[Crystal Emory]

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

I documented a census in the "event/fact page" in this case the 1860 census
but I don't think that matters in this case. I always document the head of
the house with the details that show up for the entire household in the
notes section. Then I share it with each person noted in the census.  After
selecting the persons, I am sharing with I see the graphic showing that I
shared the info, however, the notes are gone when I look back at the
details once I have completed the notes. Not only do they not show up with
the people I share with they also don't show up with the head of household.
I have walked the process through the help file and do not see where I
messed up. Can someone give me some ideas to check for?  I am using Windows
11 and Legacy 10. I have successfully done this in the past without any
issues.

Yes, I only discovered that a day or so ago - the sets of columns. That can be

Ian,
I also only use one Legacy family file for all people of interest whether they 
are linked into my main tree or not.

Updating when away from your normal computer and using another should be no 
problem at all PROVIDED you travel with the latest version of your family file 
AND you transfer the final version on your tablet back to your computer before 
doing more work on the computer. You do have to be using the same version of 
Legacy on both computers.

Since you've been customising columns in Index View did you see you can save up 
to 10 sets of columns and then switch between them when appropriate? Clicking 
the header row shows you the saved sets and you can switch to another with 
another click.

Cathy, thanks for that. I will do it that way in future, if necessary 
- it will be quite straight-forward.


However, this is what I found expedient:
I added 2 fields to my view of the data, in the "travelling" version 
of Legacy; those fields appear in Index View as Added and UpDate.
(I eventually found the fields when using Customise Index View 
Columns, as "Date: Added to Family File", and "Date: Modified")


I was careful with both the Tag and the RINs - no problems encountered.

Because I had only 6 extra people added or modified while away, and I 
was using a tablet with Legacy v9, it was simple to locate them that 
way and export, and then import into my "home" version of Legacy. If I 
had hundreds of modified records I can imagine complications and 
confusion.


The "home" Legacy database is now upgraded to v10, as I mentioned (and 
I like v10).


Because I have a reasonably large database now, having those 2 extra 
fields is useful in itself (though I don't want to have to change or 
import a large number of individuals that were added/modified within a 
"travelling" version of Legacy).


A side comment: I find it easier to have a single database, with 
sundry "non-family" persons added there rather than in a series of 
separate Legacy database files. (Some individuals purported to be 
related have turned out to be not. Others - they are merely of 
interest to me. )


One database, one computer is easier for me. However, most of my 
ancestors 2-3 generations back are in parts of UK and Ireland, so 
updating when overseas may continue to be a problem.

Further clarification of my previous post –

I have added to my Legacy fields display, the *Added* field and the 
*Update* field - but *sorting* by these in the _Index  mode_ (rather 
than the _Family display mode_) will not allow sorting by the values 
in those two fields.


Perhaps it would be possible in both Legacy v9 and Legacy v10, to 
create a query which is ordered in those ways? I have not yet 
attempted to do that.


Any ideas from others here?

No catch. For a start it's desktop software and once you have it you 
can use it for as long as you like.
MH have apparently wanted to make Legacy free ever since they bought 
the company 7 years ago. The part of Legacy that generates revenue is,

Re: [LegacyUG] Sort / order by Last Updated - not available in v10?

[Ian Thomas]

Further clarification of my previous post -



I have added to my Legacy fields display, the Added field and the Update field 
- but sorting by these in the Index  mode (rather than the Family display mode) 
will not allow sorting by the values in those two fields.



Perhaps it would be possible in both Legacy v9 and Legacy v10, to create a 
query which is ordered in those ways? I have not yet attempted to do that.



Any ideas from others here?

Subject: [LegacyUG] Sort / order by Last Updated - not available in v10?



Because I added a few people when away from my "main" computer used for Legacy 
FT, and was using a Windows tablet with Legacy v9, I now want to add the 
additions and any modifications that I may have made to individuals with 
earlier RIN. There are few alterations or additions and they don't warrant a 
side-by-side import - ie, can be done in a few minutes to the v10 that I will 
be using.



I have now updated my "main" computer with Legacy 10 - and can't find how to 
order by a "Last Updated".



Can I do that?

Re: [LegacyUG] Upgrading to 10

[Cathy Pinner]

No catch. For a start it's desktop software and once you have it you can 
use it for as long as you like.
MH have apparently wanted to make Legacy free ever since they bought the 
company 7 years ago. The part of Legacy that generates revenue is, I 
think, the webinar subscriptions.

Re: [LegacyUG] Family Group Sheet

Crystal,
The first thing to do when there are problems with reports is to click 
the Reset button bottom right of the Report screen.
You then need to choose your particular options again. When checking 
your options also check the Page Setup settings - a button under the 
Report Options button.

If that doesn't sort it, contact supp...@legacyfamilytree.com
I haven't seen any other reports o f this in Legacy 10.

[LegacyUG] Family Group Sheet

[Crystal Emory]

Good Morning All, Updated to Legacy 10. I haven't had any problems until
today and I am not sure this is a problem from the upgrade but I haven't
seen it before and I don't know what to do about it now.  I have added a
copy of what I am seeing when I preview my Family Group Sheet.  I looked at
a copy of the Ancestor Book report and the format is beautiful, readable,
etc.  Any suggestions, thoughts, questions.

What version and build of Legacy are you using?
This was a known problem.
It is fixed in Legacy 10.
Legacy 10 is free for everyone including the Deluxe features.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 10

[Ian Macaulay]

My upgrade was so seamless that I had to double check to make sure it had
made the change.

So far the only mumble was the change in the search file links.  Probably
not a problem for most people, but with over a Thousand Angus in my data it
is almost a necessity.
this has happened in previous upgrades, I had forgotten.   Prolly an age
thing

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 10

[Cathy Pinner]

DeanAdams,
Thousands have upgraded without problems.
Some have had initial problems and sorted them. Some of those were user 
created.


Here's an annotated listing of the suggested steps documenting the 
problems that various people have had.
They mostly revolve around getting the actual installation file to 
download and security software.


Here's the list annotated with solutions to issues people have 
encountered during this simple process.

Here's the things to do to make the process as trouble free as possible.
1. Run File > File Maintenance > check/repair on your files. You should 
be doing this regularly to keep your database healthy. If there are 
errors reported run it again. Errors after the second run are the ones 
that aren't auto-corrected and require your intervention. Fix them and 
run again.
2. Verify that there are no broken media links. Tools>Media Relinker You 
can fix them in Legacy 10 but you need to know they weren't caused by 
the upgrade.
3. Backup your family file and media files. Preferably make sure you 
also have these backups off your computer either in a cloud or on 
external drive.
4. Download 10 from the website. Some people encounter problems because 
a) they make a typo when entering their email address, b) the email goes 
to spam or doesn't arrive. If it doesn't arrive try a different email 
address c) the link in the email doesn't work and they need to copy and 
paste the link to their browser. One person reported that his ISP 
blocked unknown programs for 24 hours

5. Install 10 and enjoy.
Some people encounter problems with the installation because their 
security software blocks it or part of it. Pausing the security software 
during installation solves that. If concerned you can go into Aeroplane 
mode/come offline for the installation,.
If there is any problem after installation RESTART your computer and it 
is usually solved.


Some people are having problems with the Legacy FamilySearch module. The 
login has been changed by FamilySearch and is now done in your browser 
every time you open the Legacy FamilySearch module. The login 
credentials can still be saved in Legacy FamilySearch so you don't have 
to enter them every time. Reports say it is not working if you are using 
a Ad blocker and tracking blocker on the FamilySearch site as the login 
information has to be returned. Some are finding the browser tab is left 
open. I see it open and close but the browser often stays open on top of 
the Legacy FamilySearch module.


Yes there are some bugs in the new version that people are finding 
particularly in new reports, but so there still are in Legacy 9 and 
earlier. Only Legacy 10 is being updated with bug fixes.


Hope this helps
Cathy

Ian,
There have been minor changes between versions to Search.  I suspect 
they are enough for you to have to redo saved searches.

[LegacyUG] Legacy 10

Is the new version as troublesome as it appears?  I have seen a number of
instances in which new users are having difficulties with the new download.

[LegacyUG] re previous sco file note

[Ian Macaulay]

I suspect that they all shifted and so I have to rebuild the set.
There are several new items to build with,   Now I have to decide if I am
happy with this or not.

Grumpy old man is not an easy task sometimes  :-)

Re: [LegacyUG] Billion Graves

[Cathy Pinner]

Terry,
Go to Search > Search Internet and choose the BillionGraves site. This 
will search BillionGraves for the current person.
There is an icon you can add to your My Toolbar if you choose to 
customise it - Design> Toolbars > My Toolbar but all it does is open the 
website.
The box on the Individual Information screen will take you to the 
memorial if you have a number entered or search BillionGraves for that 
person if you haven't.

The BillionGraves ID is found in the browser address bar.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 10

[Cathy Pinner]

Jan,
I agree with Henry.
You really shouldn't be using a gedcom to go from Legacy to Legacy.
I would think there is something wrong anyway if it's taking so long for 
just 30,000 people.

WHY? Are you using a GEDCOM.
Make a copy (or rename your Legacy 9 file and just open it with Legacy 10.

Legacy 10 will convert your data and you will be off and running.

Just curious

Good Afternoon,

I have been a Legacy user for over 15 years and love the program. I 
also have been a Mac user for longer than that…and have had to use 
Fusion to be able to utilize Legacy. I have a fairly large database 
with 30,000 individuals along with many notes for most of those 
individuals. Yesterday I downloaded Legacy 10 at 6:00 PM. It took 
until about 8:00 this morning before I could then import my data. I do 
have a five year old MacBook Pro and having Fusion slows down both the 
Mac and Legacy. My Legacy 9 data from a Gedcom is still importing 7 
1/2 hours later and only partially loaded. Is anyone else having such 
a slow transfer?

Re: [LegacyUG] Tips for Updating to Legacy 10

[Cathy Pinner]

Sarah,
Q1: Yes you should still set the Customise options I mentioned. It's the 
program that you've probably pinned to the Taskbar, not a particular 
database.
Q2: When you are happy you have your all your data in your Legacy 10 
database you are always opening, yes you can delete other copies you 
find elsewhere. A Legacy database is made up of the main FDB file which 
has the Legacy logo and a number of other files that start filename> but have different extensions. You can delete them. What you 
should keep are data backup zips - at least the last 10 for complete 
peace of mind. Put them in the one folder. You only need the last 2 or 3 
media backup zips.
The reason for keeping more data backups is that we don't always realise 
there is a problem in the database until we go to a particular family we 
may not have looked at for ages. The data backup zip zips together that 
FDB file with the  others with the same family filename.
Legacy 10 now records in Options > Customise your backup folders. Again 
see section 6.


To minimise the need to use a data backup, regularly do File > File 
Maintenance > Check/Repair. Databases are like cars - they need regular 
maintenance.
It's years since I've actually needed to use a data backup due to my 
database becoming unhealthy but I still have some backups going back 
decades. I restore an old one to see what progress I've made and 
sometimes to retrieve people I remember researching but can't find. I 
used to delete people I found didn't belong to the family but sometimes 
I discover later that they do but in a different part of the family. I 
no longer delete but just unlink.

The 1st is that I usually pin the Legacy site to my task bar, but

delete them all, and just keep ones from Legacy 10? TIA

Similarly, you can look for your data files using File Explorer.
Open File Explorer from the taskbar or right-click on the Start menu, 
choose File Explorer and then select a location from the left pane to 
search or browse.
Go to the drive where you store your data (on a basic setup it would 
be C:\) and search (top right search panel) for ".fdb".

All your Legacy data files will show up.

Re: [LegacyUG] Tips for Updating to Legacy 10

[BMcL Robinson]

Similarly, you can look for your data files using File Explorer.
Open File Explorer from the taskbar or right-click on the Start menu, 
choose File Explorer and then select a location from the left pane to 
search or browse.
Go to the drive where you store your data (on a basic setup it would be 
C:\) and search (top right search panel) for ".fdb".

All your Legacy data files will show up.

It will be there somewhere. When you find it, since you don't

Re: [LegacyUG] File savng and charting

[sarah hughes]

I am sorry if I was rude to you, but I usually am computer-savvy, but I
just found this very frustrating. That sample is still in the list, but I
guess it's there for a reason. Your original email regarding downloading
Legacy 10 was very helpful, and the only thing that I had no problem doing!
Once again, I apologize.

Re: [LegacyUG] Tips for Updating to Legacy 10

[sarah hughes]

It was unfair what she said to me. I am actually quite computer-savvy, but
I was so frustrated by the whole thing. I did say thank you to everyone who
had tried to assist me, and that includes Cathy. Her first email about
downloading Legacy 10 was very helpful, but that was never the problem. It
took me a while but at least I got it sorted.

Re: [LegacyUG] Tips for Updating to Legacy 10

[sarah hughes]

I have finally got my FT back! After clicking on practically every
file/folder on my laptop to try and get one of the Sample ones to open, I
finally did. But when I went through all the list my tree still wasn't
there. Then I just clicked on something to refresh the list of recent files
and the 3rd one was my tree! A box popped up to ask me to transfer stuff to
Legacy 10, and Voila!
Thank you all for trying to help me.

Re: [LegacyUG] Tips for Updating to Legacy 10

[Bob Austen]

You don't have Legacy on your computer and can't figure out why you can't
open your tree??? And you think you are computer savvy?  And you have the
gall to attack those that are trying to help you?  Now you want 'support'
to help you after you have trashed anyone who has reached out to you?  Good
luck!
Upgrading to Legacy 10 is very easy for anyone who "knows their way around
their computer".

At the bottom of my screen to the left (on my computer it looks like a

if I search there for *.fdb I get a list of all fdb files I have on my computer.

Re: [LegacyUG] Tips for Updating to Legacy 10

[sarah hughes]

I do know my way around my computer, and that is a totally unnecessary and
nasty thing to say. I did click on the link for lost files, but because I
now don't have Legacy 9 or 10 on my computer there is no blue circle or any
Legacy screen to find any files. I have often used the list of files before
to find the right one, but when there is no legacy screen at all, that is
impossible. I would have thought you would understand that.
I have sent an email to support, and let's hope that they reply without any
snide comments!

Re: [LegacyUG] Tips for Updating to Legacy 10

[Cathy Pinner]

Sarah,
Go back to the article I mentioned before re finding a lost file. Here's 
the link again. 
<https://legacyfamilytree.com/help-center/?a=I-lost-my-family-file---id--K-I9BVL_R5SkFN6sY2Vaeg> 

It will be there somewhere. When you find it, since you don't seem to be 
good at finding your way around your computer, put it in the Legacy 
default folder for data where the Sample file is, since you seem able to 
find that.   ...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Data\ folder.

Then set Options > Customise 1.2 to open your file automatically.
Save your data backup zips to a Google Drive folder and make sure you 
know how to use your data backup with File > Restore File.

In the backup dialogue you will see you can set the folder for backups.
Cathy

Legacy 10 has been released and is free for everyone. It has all the 
Deluxe features for free. It has the same look and feel as Legacy 8 
and 9. It has some new features and reports and tweaks to existing 
features and reports.
The new features are listed on the renewed Legacy website. The full 
list is in this blog: 
<https://news.legacyfamilytree.com/legacy_news/2024/06/the-new-legacy-family-tree-10-is-here-and-its-all-free.html> 
It's advised to be running Windows 10 or Windows 11. Not all features 
are guaranteed to work on earlier Windows versions.
Here's the things to do to make the process as trouble free as 
possible with some comments on where a few people out of the thousands 
who have updated have been encountering problems. Note it will 
overwrite Legacy 9. You can't run both versions as the settings are 
all locked to the same folder ...\Documents\Legacy Family 
Tree\_AppData\ folder 1. Run File > File Maintenance > check/repair on 
your files. You should be doing this regularly to keep your database 
healthy. 2. Verify that there are no broken media links. Tools>Media 
Relinker You can fix them in Legacy 10 but you need to know they 
weren't caused by the upgrade. 3. Backup your family file and media 
files. Preferably make sure you also have these backups off your 
computer either in a cloud or on external drive. 4. Download 10 from 
the website. Some people encounter problems because a) they make a 
typo when entering their email address, b) the email goes to spam or 
doesn't arrive. If it doesn't arrive try a different email address c) 
the link in the email doesn't work and they need to copy and paste the 
link to their browser.
5. Install 10 and enjoy. Some people encounter problems with the 
installation because their security software blocks it or part of it. 
Pausing the security software during installation solves that. If 
concerned you can go into Aeroplane mode/come offline for the 
installation. If there is any problem after installation RESTART your 
computer and it is usually solved. Have fun, Cathy

Hello all.

I downloaded Version 10 and the program came in nicely.  I have two family 
trees running; my own, and the second being my wife's family.  What I 
discovered in my family tree is that the "Birth, Death Dates and Anniversaries" 
screen under "Legacy Home" is not working properly.  It appears that the 
information that should be reported is not loading.  (This feature on my wife's 
family tree is working just fine.)  I have gone through the program's 
"Knowledge Base" in an effort to fix the problem but have been unsuccessful.

I would welcome any help in fixing this problem.

Re: [LegacyUG] Tips for Updating to Legacy 10

[Cathy Pinner]

Sarah,
I've already given you the Support article on how to find a lost file.
Your file will be there.
You don't have to have Legacy at all to install Legacy 10. But if you 
have Legacy you convert your earlier Legacy database into Legacy 10 format.
If you've been using Legacy, even a much earlier one, you can open your 
current database -when you find it OR use your latest Legacy data backup 
zip - you have been backing up haven't you?
Here's the Support file again: 



No you shouldn't reset your Laptop to an earlier time. Use the options 
in the Support article or open Windows File Explorer and search yourself 
for *.fdb files.

But my problem is that I can't update to Legacy 10, because I don't 
have Legacy 9 to upgrade it from. Sure, I could install Legacy 10, but 
then I would still have no tree there. I could create a gedcom from my 
Genes reunited tree, but as someone said, gedcom is the last resort! I 
have an external hard-drive plugged into my laptop, so perhaps it 
might be on there. But if it's gone from the laptop, it will probably 
be gone from there too!
Should I reset laptop to an earlier time and see if it reappears, 
perhaps? Thank you, Sarah

Legacy 10 has it's own big blue circle with a white "L.  Hover your 
mouse over the icon, if it reads Legacy 9, delete it. That one won't 
work. Since you updated, you no longer have Legacy 9 on your 
computer.  Go to Start, show all apps, scroll down to located the 
Legacy 10 icon.  At least, that was all that I had to do.  Then pinned 
it to Start and I dragged the icon to where I wanted it.

I have just opened my Legacy 9 from the task bar where I keep it 
attached, and to my horror my whole family tree has disappeared! All I 
get is that silly sample one, and I have gone through the list that 
Legacy gave me, but none of them come up with my tree. Even where I 
had it saved in my computer files, there are just 2 sample files of 
that other silly tree. Please help. as I need to upgrade to 10, but 
how can I when my tree has just disappeared from everywhere? I was 
only using it the other day! Would resetting my laptop to an earlier 
time help, please? It is Windows 11, and I had the free Legacy 9 edition.

Legacy 10 has been released and is free for everyone. It has all the 
Deluxe features for free. It has the same look and feel as Legacy 8 
and 9. It has some new features and reports and tweaks to existing 
features and reports.
The new features are listed on the renewed Legacy website. The full 
list is in this blog: 
 
It's advised to be running Windows 10 or Windows 11. Not all features 
are guaranteed to work on earlier Windows versions.
Here's the things to do to make the process as trouble free as 
possible with some comments on where a few people out of the thousands 
who have updated have been encountering problems. Note it will 
overwrite Legacy 9. You can't run both versions as the settings are 
all locked to the same folder ...\Documents\Legacy Family 
Tree\_AppData\ folder 1. Run File > File Maintenance > check/repair on 
your files. You should be doing this regularly to keep your database 
healthy. 2. Verify that there are no broken media links. Tools>Media 
Relinker You can fix them in Legacy 10 but you need to know they 
weren't caused by the upgrade. 3. Backup your family file and media 
files. Preferably make sure you also have these backups off your 
computer either in a cloud or on external drive. 4. Download 10 from 
the website. Some people encounter problems because a) they make a 
typo when entering their email address, b) the email goes to spam or 
doesn't arrive. If it doesn't arrive try a different email address c) 
the link in the email doesn't work and they need to copy and paste the 
link to their browser.
5. Install 10 and enjoy. Some people encounter problems with the 
installation because their security software blocks it or part of it. 
Pausing the security software during installation solves that. If 
concerned you can go into Aeroplane mode/come offline for the 
installation. If there is any problem after installation RESTART your 
computer and it is usually solved. Have fun, Cathy

Re: [LegacyUG] Tips for Updating to Legacy 10

[Cathy Pinner]

Sarah,
You will probably see your file in the Recent File list if you haven't 
moved or deleted it.
The Recent File List is found by clicking the L top left corner of the 
Legacy screen if the L is larger than the title bar. If it isn't, you'll 
see a System Ribbon tab and it's on that instead. It depends on the 
Design Style you are using.
 Here's the support article on finding a lost file: 



It's possible that Options > Customise 1.2 is no longer pointing to the 
file you want to automatically open.
It's also possible that you haven't set Options > Customise 6.1 and 6.2 
to where you want your file to be.


Another possibility is that your Documents folder is inside OneDrive 
because you asked OneDrive to sync it or you agreed to let Windows 
backup your data. If so, you need to go to the OneDrive settings and 
make sure it is keeping local copies of your files as well as syncing 
them to the OneDrive cloud.

Re: [LegacyUG] Updating to Version 10

[Wes Jester]

Well, I finally got it worked out.  I did have the DAO dll in the 
libraries.  As a last resort, before th dreaded GEDCOM attempt, I 
replaced them as described in the Knowledge Base.  Lo and behold 
everything now works.  Apparently the ones I had gotten corrupt somehow.



Thanks to all who helped me.  I really appreciate the legacy Family.  We 
all work together to help one another.

If no errors, then backup that file and copy it to the Legacy 10

Re: [LegacyUG] Updating to Version 10

[Cathy Pinner]

Wes,
I'd do everything before using a Gedcom, especially if you use 
SourceWriter sources as they are all converted to Basic style in a gedcom.

Have you checked the DLL file as in the Knowlege Base article?
<https://legacyfamilytree.com/help-center/?a=Error-91-Object-variable-or-With-block-variable-not-set---id--6_fUzDu2TDmVAR9Qa24XGg>
If a recent backup doesn't work, then I suggest you ask Support for help 
with this.

Yes I have done that as well.  I have also reloaded a backup from my 
Acronis backup 5 generations back.  The error is still there. I know I 
have done a few database repair cycles in the last several months, so 
I am a bit lost now. I think I will have to restore form a GEDCOM and 
hope for the best

Re: [LegacyUG] Updating to Version 10

[Evelyn ..]

Hi Wes... I remember wrestling with that problem. I found that if I
regularly do:
1. Backup
2. List Cleanup
3. Backup
4. Check/Repair
5. Backup
6. Compact Family File
7. Backup
8. Check/Repair
9. Backup

It DOES take a while to do all that on a large file, but it saves headaches
& panic attacks. If any of the Check/Repair steps gets the error message, I
move on to the next step (Backup). Hope that helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] Updating to Version 10

[Wes Jester]

I have done just that.  I restored from the latest backup and the one 
before that.  I also restored from my offsite backup which is 3 levels 
back.  I have also done the steps form the knowledge base for error 91 
as well as the legacy Freezes steps.  All to no avail.



Any ideas will be most welcome.

[LegacyUG] Tips for Updating to Legacy 10

[Cathy Pinner]

Legacy 10 has been released and is free for everyone. It has all the 
Deluxe features for free. It has the same look and feel as Legacy 8 and 
9. It has some new features and reports and tweaks to existing features 
and reports.
The new features are listed on the renewed Legacy website. The full list 
is in this blog: 
 
It's advised to be running Windows 10 or Windows 11. Not all features 
are guaranteed to work on earlier Windows versions.
Here's the things to do to make the process as trouble free as possible 
with some comments on where a few people out of the thousands who have 
updated have been encountering problems. Note it will overwrite Legacy 
9. You can't run both versions as the settings are all locked to the 
same folder ...\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\ folder 1. Run 
File > File Maintenance > check/repair on your files. You should be 
doing this regularly to keep your database healthy. 2. Verify that there 
are no broken media links. Tools>Media Relinker You can fix them in 
Legacy 10 but you need to know they weren't caused by the upgrade. 3. 
Backup your family file and media files. Preferably make sure you also 
have these backups off your computer either in a cloud or on external 
drive. 4. Download 10 from the website. Some people encounter problems 
because a) they make a typo when entering their email address, b) the 
email goes to spam or doesn't arrive. If it doesn't arrive try a 
different email address c) the link in the email doesn't work and they 
need to copy and paste the link to their browser.
5. Install 10 and enjoy. Some people encounter problems with the 
installation because their security software blocks it or part of it. 
Pausing the security software during installation solves that. If 
concerned you can go into Aeroplane mode/come offline for the 
installation. If there is any problem after installation RESTART your 
computer and it is usually solved. Have fun, Cathy

Re: [LegacyUG] Problem with Search/Find

[Cathy Pinner]

You don't use a Detailed Search to find a person in Legacy.
The quickest way is to go to Index View. In the Surname box at the top 
type Surname, Given Name. it probably would show your person before you 
finished typing the Given Name.
If you use the Given Name box, you type Given Names, Surname. Note the 
comma. It's unnecessary to add a space after it before the other part of 
the name.

The Name List search boxes work the same way.

I have an ancestor named James Knox Horn. When I try to do a search 
and find on him in order to review his record, I search for the given 
name of James and the surname of Horn. It returns two individuals

way? If so, what is the best way to search and find James Knox Horn?

Hi Gene, We are assuming you are trying to locate this person within ‘Legacy’ 
then why not just use the ‘Index’ tab?

Are you searching in the Name Search Icon? Just use the surname "Horn, James
