[LegacyUG] Search Techniques

2006-09-17 Thread Paul Croteau
Is there a way to search for a male named Joseph who has a mother named Mary for example? I have over 300 Joseph's here and it seems to take forever to look through all the tagged Joseph's at his parents. There must be some search technique that I have over looked. Thank you, Paul Legacy

Paul, I cannot think of way to directly search for all the results which you require however, you may save some work (if you are not using this method at present) by going to Search>Find>Miscellaneous Searches>Individuals who are married>Create List. Then Search>Find>Detailed Search. Check the R

Byron, I know this doesn't help you much, but I just checked my Legacy database with "Family Group Sheets" web pages, and they were created without any errors. This would, at least, eliminate the possibility of a "bug" in the program. I did a quick search with Google for error codes 3201 and

Hi Noelene, All that is different is that you have View hidden text on in your Word Processor and previously you didn't. You're seeing the codes that Legacy uses to generate the index in your word processor. Legacy has always done this - otherwise you wouldn't be able to generate an index - t

Hi Graeme, Re 1) Where you attach images of BDM Certificates is your choice. You might want to run some test reports or web pages to see how they look - if you are wanting them to appear. I think you'll find they're not readable on reports wherever you attach them - not sure about web pages.

Thanks Ron Ferguson and Cathy. Looked up my copy of the "Idiot's Guide to Word 2000" and worked out how to change back my formatting view of codes, and downloaded the latest version of Legacy 6.0.0.110. Had the previous one, 108. Generated another report and it works. Thanks heaps.   Noelene
