Paula,
If you change any file name in anyway it will no longer be found by Legacy,
this does include the extension. Note also that extension should, normally
only be changed using a program designed for that purpose. Irfan View can be
used for changing the extensions of picture files.

Hey, Rose, I've just been working on renaming my picture files to remove spaces,

Hi,
Jackie has it right. My concern was downloading it from dial up.
I think I will try the suggestion of downloading it at my local library, as I
can do that on my Laptop. And if I am unable to do that then I will send for
the Basic Version for $1, plus what ever shipping may be involved.
If you don't have access to the library, there is another option: Go to
the Legacy Family Tree online store and purchase the standard version on
CD for only $1.00. I guess there's shipping added on to that, but it
doesn't seem it would be that much. Here is the link - then scroll down

I think I know what he means.
When I first downloaded legacy I was also on dialup - it took me three
nights to find a dialup connection stable enough to get through the
download - and several hours to download it. You have to be dedicated to
genealogy at times.
It is a problem with most programs
Bo,
I'm not quite sure what you mean by the comment "was hoping to not have to
try this way". If you mean that you think you will need to download the
program twice - once for the basic version and then again for the deluxe -
you don't. The basic version contains all the extras for the upgrade and
I suggest that if you can find a computer connected on broadband, such
as at a library, go ahead and download Legacy there, save to thumb
drive or burn to CD and then use that file to install Legacy.
You would need to do the same thing when updating.

Download the free version and give a ride. Make sure you have a backup

You probably opened the Marriage Information window for that
individual and clicked on "Save" rather than "Close".
Click on the Spouse icon on the far left of the icons underneath his
"box" and unlink the Unknown from him.

I was able to correct the problem. when right-clicking on where the the
marriage info displays, I noticed an option to "display List of Wives". It was
showing an "Unknown" wife. When I deleted it, the MRIN disappeared.

FTM are one of the big players and they provide import routine for "Legacy" and

self-interest by the big players will go that route rather than uprate gedcom.

I have never used Ancestral Quest and cannot compare the problems that may, or

On the Family view, click on the marriage icon (the first 1 in the row below

I wouldn't hold my breath. The organisers/designers admit it is a long term
project and is certainly far from new already.
Mike is quite correct, it will not be of much use unless the big players
incorporate it into their software - and arguably their use of propriety
tags is in their own
I'm not sure how this happened, but I have an individual who never married and
the Legacy program has assigned him a MRIN. Is there anyway of deleting it?
