I hate to contribute to this thread, but I think it is important to clear up misunderstandings. 1) The line that Jay quoted. "The Legacy User Group (LUG) is an opt-in mailing list maintained and administered by Millennia Corporation." Is actually the first sentence of the LUG Guidelines (thoug

I don't know if it is the weather or people not getting enough sleep, but lately the tone here is getting a bit mean-spirited.

Thank you. Many of us have ongoing genealogical endeavors the preclude switching to Legacy 8. It would be nice to have the time to become conversant enough with Legacy 8, but we don't all have that luxury when deadlinea are difficult enough to meet with Legacy 7.5 with which we are familiar. D

[LegacyUG] Family files available in Legacy

In Leg8 when I click on Open File, I get a list of family files and of the two I want (both of which I keep in Dropbox) are at the very end. I don't want a whole list; I just want those two to be readily available. How do I achieve that? Thanks, Pat Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.

Re: [LegacyUG] Family files available in Legacy

I agree with Michele that it's a lot easier to use the Windows Explorer option to find your files. However if there are a few files (up to 10) that you use regularly, click on the round "L" icon in the upper left corner (or the "System" tab, depending on your selection for Design > Styles) to show

Hello everyone, I have a technical computer question that I hope someone can answer for me. Legacy v7.5 is installed on my main computer which is a 64 bit computer. I would like to make a Legacy backup and save it to a flash drive, then update Legacy v7.5 that is installed on a 32 bit laptop. Wil

Re: [LegacyUG] Descendant chart filling only half page width

In 7.5, I frequently had to use the reset button for reports to get them to work correctly. They seemed to be messed up by updates or something. So always try that when a report format "goes crazy". Then you need to re-do all your preferred report format changes. Jay Ingalls On 2/24/2014 3:56 PM,

Re: [LegacyUG] restoring/updating Legacy to a second computer

Hi Lavern, When you say update Legacy 7.5, I assume you mean to update the data file only. As such, what you propose will work Ok. The 32/64 bit stuff refers only to the operating system unless an application is written only for 64bit systems. Legacy is not written this way, so the program runs
