Crossposting. I just saw this after sending my previous post. Would it be possible for Legacy to provide a tool where these could be used from within the program rather than LTools? On Aug 1, 2014 7:49 PM, "Larry Lee" wrote: > Ok how do I use these SQL code modules with Legacy? Or are they only

[LegacyUG] Backing up family file and what to do with the backup

2014-08-01 Thread Stu and Priscilla Fanning
I understand that it is a good idea to backup my family file on a separate drive.  I have been able to do that.  It gives the family file name, date and time, and that it is a compressed (zipped) file.  When I look in my hard drive, I see files that have a circle at the beginning with an L in i

Simple place to start would be a Google shared folder.  Each file in the folder should be descriptively named and there should be one "Index" file in the folder also that could list all the files and include a short summary of how the routine is used and maybe a little about why it was developed

You could put all the pictures in one folder or put them in any structure of folders and sub-folders you wish.  Then run the Relinker.  If the actual file names have not changed, the Relinker should be able to find them and fix the link to them.  Once you have all media relinked, then you can ba

Ron, thanks for the informed answer. It makes a little more sense now. You are saying I can create a folder, I am assuming in Legacy, in which to place all of my media and Legacy will recognize and locate it at the appropriate time. Should I place all of the media I have previously linked in t
