RE: [LegacyUG] Date won't change
I have had situations where the day and month are known but there is doubt on the year (normally created by a difference of Bishop's Transcripts compared to Parish Registers). Using Beth's date it would be the 17th June but the question arises as to which year 1938 or 1939. I would like to know if anyone else has this requirement and how they handle it?

You could enter 17 June 1938 or 1939 which would probably be clear in meaning to you and Legacy doesn't seem to see that as a Problem Date but it would probably make it difficult, if not impossible, to do Searches and Calculations involving those dates. It would be preferable to enter 17 June 1938 in the main field and then add an Alt event for 17 June 1939. Legacy has default Events for Alt Birth, Alt Baptism, Alt Burial, Alt Death and Alt Marriage.

Re: [LegacyUG] Date won't change
The problem isn't with just that year date, it is happening throughout Legacy. I type as 17 Jun 1938-9 or 17 Jun 1938/9and it shows up as 0009-17 Jun 1938 . Just the input of a year it does not change. All the date slots.. Born, Bapt, Died, Buried is effected. I have looked in all the options for dates, changed the date. I have tried changing: Dates displayed as Month Format Separators for numeric dates are checked on dash but changing this box to anything else does not fix the problem. Input format The Double Date cutoff is not checked. Date Checking is not checked. I have ran the File Maintenance/Check/repair. Still there. I have closed everything out, shut the computer down, but still there when I turn the computer back on. I am unable to enter any information into any date slot without this date mess showing up. Beth On 2011/09/22 05:31, Beth wrote: As for the date that won't change I did notice my calendar was lite up but nothing in it helped but I do know it is not usually lite. Yes, I used the slash when adding a birth date as '7 Jan 1693/4' but came out as 1693/94. I have used that form before with no problem. I orginially typed 7 Jan 1693/94. Typing now and should be: 7 Jan 1694 but goes back to the 1693/94 each time. That's correct! In 1752, the calendar as used within the British Empire - and he USA was part of that at that time - changed from the Julian to the regorian. Conventionally, dates in the pre-1752 period ran from 25 March to the ollowing 24 March. Thus, after the calendar change, there was a problem in nowing which year a date in January and February was actually in. Was it 1693 r was it 1694. To help people know, a convention of double-dating was devised. his is what you see with a date like 7 Jan 1693/94. The fact that you're ntering the date as 7 Jan 1693/4 is neither here nor there, the conventional epresentation uses two digits for the second year, hence 1693/94. -- egards, ike Fry ohannesburg egacy User Group guidelines: ttp://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp rchived messages after Nov. 21 2009: ttp://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ rchived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: ttp://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ nline technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp ollow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our log (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com). o unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp 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] Date won't change and slide for more children is gone
How many children? There are screens for 1-5, 1-10 and 1-15. I have some with over fifteen and it adds a 'scroll' to get to the last 3 of 18. If needed it holds 16-30.

Re: [LegacyUG] Date won't change and slide for more children is gone
Nothing comes up to explain that section. It is the slide at the end of the children's list in the family view on the right side. When I have more children that the 3 section list of children will handle, by opening the slide I can add more children.

Re: [LegacyUG] Date won't change and slide for more children is gone
The slide will only show if you have more than 15 children (if you have selected the 3 column display). Do as Mike suggested and right click on any child, then add brother or add sister. If that addition takes you over the 15 children then you should be able to see the slide.

Beth, I guess that you mean the scroll bar on the right. Try going to OptionsCustomiseView and set child columns to best fit or to whatever number you prefer (bottom left of the screen). I use best fit and when the list is full I right click on the last name to add brother/sister.

Re: [LegacyUG] Date won't change and slide for more children is gone
Problem: I am unable to change a birth date even after I delete what is there and add correct date, the orginial date will pop in again and delete the new date. Best Fit for children was really great. Hadn't noticed they had added another selection. And the way to add more kids by clicking on the a s and then d etc. up pops a very interesting window that I will explore As for the date that won't change I did notice my calendar was lite up but nothing in it helped but I do know it is not usually lite. Yes, I used the slash when adding a birth date as '7 Jan 1693/4' but came out as 1693/94. I have used that form before with no problem. I orginially typed 7 Jan 1693/94. Typing now and should be: 7 Jan 1694 but goes back to the 1693/94 each time. I have ran the File Maintenance/Check/Repair file. Problem still there. Thanks to all that helped. Is it possible that Legacy is converting what you type into either the British or American format for dates, depending on which you are meaning to use. What I mean is, are you typing something like 12/01/1800 (meaning December 1st (American style) and what is appearing is 12 January (British style)?
