Geri,
There are downsides to overwriting the file on your desktop from anywhere.
If you make it a rule first to rename the 'Myancestors.fdb' on your
desktop 'Myancestors.yymmdd' before you copy across from your flash
drive, then you don't overwrite it, you are making a copy alongside it
with the
I am able to avoid all these issues by keeping my main Legacy file and
Pictures on a USB drive plugged into my desktop. That way when I
switch to my laptop all I have to do is plug in the USB drive and all
the files are availble.
When you do this you have to do several things initially. The first
We recently discussed this. Take a look at the archives, it has many
replies. btw, yes you can.

Geri,
I have the same concerns and was thinking about trying Dropbox to keep
both copies of Legacy database current on both my net book and my home
computer.
Has anyone on this list used this program ? If so, how did it work for your
Legacy database?

Cathy,
You can check the old mailing list archives for some threads from last year
about Dropbox. We can't discuss Dropbox at length here, but suffice it to say
it is a great way IMO to sync your Legacy files between computers pretty much
effortlessly. Lots easier than flashdrives, etc.
As
Hello everyone,
I would like to know how to ADD in Legacy, a homosexual partner to either a
man or a female partner.
This is not intended to start a discussion as to whether such practices are
condoned by anybody, religious or otherwise.
This is a technical matter on how to use the Legacy
Cathy,
The obvious is to delete Legacy.usr, as Legacy will recreate it when it
starts. However, with this particular usr file I would excercise a little
caution, as you may have to reset all your settings. Deleting will not
affect your data in any way whatsoever.
I would ensure that your
I tried Dropbox and found it be OK, but the free version (2 gb limit)
wasn't enough to hold my family files and media files. If you want to
pay for added capacity it is a great offsite option.
I'm currently using Windows Live Sync, which automatically syncs my
netbook to my desktop, with no file
I am also very happy with my frequent use of Legacy 7 deluxe, plus Dropbox
on my Dell mini as well as my main computer.
You will need to go back to early 2009 for the archived posts about dropbox.

Hi Luis,
I would add a gay partner the same way I would add a spouse or a life
companion of the opposite sex. If you click on where you would enter the
marriage date (that blank area below the couple that says marriage
information) you can fill in when they got together if you want and

Hi Luis,
I forgot to add that you can change the gender of any person you've
entered by clicking on their name in Family View and changing the radio
button on the right side of the individual's information box. (It's just
above place of birth if you have trouble locating it).

Legacy will not allow two persons of the same sex to be joined as a
couple. One must always be listed as a male and one as a female. This
has been discussed
You're right, Gene! I should have experimented first before offering
advice on entering genders. Since I don't want to get into a banned
subject, I'll just repeat that I would still add them the say way I
would add any other couple and ignore the gender issues til it was time
to print a report or

Luis,
There a 2 ways.
1. Export to a gedcom file only the partners involved (eg. tag the 2
records involved and export these tagged ecords). Change the sex on
the gedcom file of one of the partners (using a text editor) then
import this gedcom file back into your legacy file so that you have a

Check your options. You must have double-dating
I suspect you have double dating activated. It is desireable to some
of us, not quite so much on others. (I use double dating.) Quoting

I concur with Gene Young; using Periodicals Journal Basic format should give
you what you need. The name of the journal would be the master source; the
title of the article, the author of the article, etc. is in the details screen.

Wow! That was it! Thanks a bunch. I turned it off, returned to my person, and
it was already fixed for me.
