Thanks to all who replied regarding my problem. I suspect it may be a compression issue as most of you have suggested. I see same problem on 2 computers. a desktop with XP and a laptop with vista. Neither has a working photo editor now. The desktop had problems and had to be restored to original so

Seems to me you need Legacy to be a seer, or interpreter - exactly what databases can't be by the nature of their assembly. Making disparate assumptions runs against the inherent nature of computerisation, and my thought would that the computer, in attempting to make such comparisons and conclusion

I never never do enter a female under her married name! What I am talking about is if I add a child to a set of parents and her name is Ann Smith. I have her married to a man named Joe but I don't know what his last name is. Somewhere else in my database I have a Joe Jenkins married to a woman

I'm having trouble importing sources from one family file to another. (using ver. 7.0.0.55) I was able to import locations with no problem. When I try importing sources, I receive Error #3265. I followed the instructions for correcting that error. Then tried again--same result. Is there a bug o

Michele, "I suppose I could check the name list every time I add someone but I might not catch females that I have in my database under their maiden or married name and I am adding the other." I would recommend that you NEVER NEVER NEVER enter a female under her married name. Females should onl

Dennis, We are in agreement that only a SELECT clause would be required, but I was thinking more in terms of my experience that multi-duplicated (if that's English!) names are common within families. To sort these out would take the user time, especially in one-name sites. As you say, it does

I am a long time Legacy user who also wishes this were available: it is my single biggest "wish list" item. I have used another program where there was a built in check when a new person was added, and it and didn't seem to be a resource hog. Even if all it did was bring up a list of people w

Michele, I certainly hope not. Have you thought about how long it would take for Legacy to check the whole of the database for every entry, and then the additional work for the user in having to approve or otherwise, again, for every entry. For larger databases life would become next to imposs

I would like it if Legacy would warn you when you add a new person if there are any possible duplicates in your file. I suppose I could check the name list every time I add someone but I might not catch females that I have in my database under their maiden or married name and I am adding the o
