Excellent suggestions. I do have MS Access. I should have thought of that. Maybe even the "Genviewer" program. Thank you. Jeff - Original Message - From: "Susan Daily" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Saturday, September 30, 2006 10:05 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Search globally? If

If you have the Access program, I think that is the only way to globally search for a particular word in the Legacy database. The poor-man's shortcut, though, is to export everything into a GEDCOM, then search the text-file (GEDCOM) for the word you are looking for. It will appear within a few lin

I knew about that. I misused the word "town" when I asked 'Can one search globally as where does this town or word appear within all fields'. I should have said search globally for a word (not necessarily a town) anywhere in the database. Probably asking too much but it could be useful in so

[LegacyUG] GeoDB

The geoDB is quite large (several hundred MB). Is there an advantage in keeping it on the hard drive? Do I give up anything if I move it to a CD? Is it needed within Legacy for anything other than looking up a location? Thanks. Legacy User Group guidelines can be found at: http://www.Legac

In Legacy, the Search screen permits you to search for "Individual, Male, Female, or Marriage". Can one search globally as where does this town or word appear within all fields? Jeff Legacy User Group guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past

Hello Elizabeth I'm sending this off-list as it's likely off-topic . . . If both of your computers have USB ports then I suggest you either purchase a cheap USB thumb drive (also known as zip, flash and jump drives) that will hold the full Legacy Setup program. One of these could likely be pu

Thank you very much for that helpful answer. The registry question was the one that bothered me the most, because it affected both 5 and 6. If I go to 6, I will buy the deluxe edition on a CD, so I can install it both places. I had major computer problems all spring, and had to go from 98SE
