Re: [LegacyUG] Removing Temple Data
Ordinance information on non-living is not really that confidential. If you look at the Sample file with the LDS option enabled, you'll see that in Geoff's file. Anyway, there's no problem with sharing that data. With LDS option disabled, that option will not be included in reports and web pages and consequently no LDS information will be included. If you wish to send a gedcom, in the Gedcom Export window, click on the Customize button and deselect the LDS Ordinances in the Groups of items to exclude from export Oh wait! I Just thought of an easy way to remove the LDS ordinances from your file. Go to File Export and select to Export to a new Legacy Family File. On the Legacy Export window, select Exclude LDS Information and then create the new file. You will need to name it differently. Go over it to make sure everything looks good the open your other file in Legacy and go to File Delete File (you might want to back up first - File Backup File, just in case). Then open the new file and go to File Rename File to give it the same name as your original file, if you wish. The only consequence of the export will be that all the data will show the date added and modified as the date of the export.

Re: [LegacyUG] Removing Temple Data
Thanks, Sherry, for the ordinance guidance, and I had not thought of exporting in native mode, which avoids side effects from gedcom use. That should work fine. If AFN numbers are stripped, that's not a big issue, and I'll keep backup with them. Thanks also, Brian, for alerting me to that. kb 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://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

Re: [LegacyUG] Removing Temple Data
The AFN numbers wouldn't be stripped. That's not part of the Ordinance data.

[LegacyUG] Removing Temple Data
We use 7.5 De Luxe and Win 7. I recently needed files from 8 to 15 years back, finding some apparently archived in 2007 in Legacy native format, versions 5 or 6. Several appeared to convert successfully to 7.5, navigation OK to material of interest, but when I ran file repair prior to use/merge, Temple data errors were reported, plus a list of Temples. I assume that I was originally given the files as PAF gedcoms, and the LDS content propagated quietly until it reached 7.5. I'm not LDS, so it's information that I should not have, and certainly should not pass on. Is there a convenient way to delete or remove it? The numbers are in the low thousands, so even making new gedcoms and using a text editor isn't real appealing unless find-and-replace-all could be used to quietly disable the relevant tag(s). The advice here: http://support.legacyfamilytree.com/article/AA-00385/11/Error-Messages-Problems/Fix-This-Temple.html requires that I revert to an earlier file version without the problem. None available. Repeated repair cycles do seem to clear the problem, but presumably valid Temple data may remain. kb 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://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

My suggestion would be to download and install a much earlier version of Legacy and use that to turn the Temple stuff off. Then, the saved file (hopefully without Temple) could be read by a recent version of Legacy and hopefully there will be no Temple data in the file. -- Regards, Mike Fry (Jhb) 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://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
