Art,
I don't know if you are aware but the lastest edition of Open Office will open
Access files (including Legacy's .fdb).
I would not, however, recommend amending them and over writing the original -
or at least be very very careful as OOo Base is not entirely bug free.
Hence, in my view,
Hi All,
I am new to this list and I am hoping that somebody can help me with setting up
a website.
I have created a website through Legacy however, I can't seem to find
instructions on activating
it, if those words can be used.
What do I need to do to share my Family History on the Web ?
That's just what I was looking for, Don. Thank you.
Mary

Rhonda,
In the first instacne check with your ISP Bigpond, to see what space
allocation they give you for your website (most ISPs provide some space)
and thendetermine whether that is enough for your Legacy information or not.

I have also noticed this and agree entirely with the mails. I did sometime

I already have a suggestion to this effect submitted. EVERYONE should

The OpenOffice Suite comes with the program Base. Base can open and

You can also add timelines right within the Legacy Programs (where you

That was the point which Cathy made. I was only suggesting that if a timeline

Diane,
You should let Legacy do the unzipping by clicking on Restore Family
File (that's what it says in ver 6). I don't think it is the same as
unzipping it yourself and then trying to open the unzipped file.

There is a better way to accomplish what you want. Just navigate to your
original legacy installation folder (c:\Legacy) and rename your Legacy6.LIC

Yes you can run two copies. Some beta testers run even more - though
