Re: [LegacyUG] Media

Hi Barton, You can attach any file to Legacy provided you use the right option in the Media Centre. Document is the right option for a pdf so I'm not sure what the problem is. All files are linked to. PDFs get the Document icon in the Media Centre and then are opened by your default PDF reader. O

[LegacyUG] Media

Hi, I am a new user to this group. I have been using Legacy for several months and like it very much. However, I have the following question: I tried to attach an existing PDF to my Media file. It did not appear that that is an option. I selected "Document" as the option and tried to attach th

Mary, Thanks for the instructions. I do have the Add Event Pictures ticked and now they only show on the Pedigree type web page. I prefer the Individual type web page and they aren't showing up. -Larry On Sun, 9/28/14, Mary Young wrote: Subject: R

Re: [LegacyUG] Counting "families"?

Hi Cheryl, I'm not sure how you are going to give a copy to a "family" when both partners are dead as under your description, their married children get a copy anyway and it's unlikely that they all have unmarried adult children to receive their copy, but here's how to get what you want. Clear a t

I tried to reproduce a couple of times but couldn't (used Beta). I didn't try GR because I think someone else already confirmed the problem, but if Ken or Dave want more confirmation they will ask beta testers on the test list, no need to do this on the LUG. Evert Op zondag 28 september 2014 hee

RE: [LegacyUG] Independent Cities issue

Thanks Ron, The GeoDatabase (GeoDB.gdb) appears that it is written in Access. I have tried to open it to add my own counties, to solve the issue as Margaret speaks of, however, it is password protected. Legacy doesn't specifically allow one to ignore an unrecognized county, though one can

[LegacyUG] Counting "families"?

I need to count how many "families" descend from one couple in my ff. Family defined for THIS PURPOSE ONLY: a married couple, regardless of whether any party to it is living. I want to give each "family" a copy of the printout or a CD, but I need to know how many families there /are/. Cheryl

On my own db all 600 iw.jpg were changed to iv.jpg. I had no trouble getting that result on the Sample.fdb. I tried coaxing it to other file types but only video worked for me. -- Richard On Sun, Sep 28, 2014 at 5:08 AM, Genealogy wrote: > Richard, > > You are correct Legacy did and shows two e

Re: [LegacyUG] Independent Cities issue

The problem is that the County Verifier and GeoDatabase were developed by two different programmers/companies and they were never coordinated to produce equal results as is evident in the independent cities. Also, GeoDatabase is based on the current location whereas County Verifier is trying to

I followed Sherry's directions for how to open a ticket myself. I'm just a bit disappointed in the list that no one would bother to confirm or refute my results. It might take 10 minutes. Am I the only one who cites web addresses as source? I lost several hundred web citations from doing a Check R

Hi, On the Master Source list are a number of check boxes to help filter the source list. You probably have some ticked and unticking them will unhide your sources. I think sometimes they're ticked when we do something in another program and click to bring Legacy back into focus and inadvertently

[LegacyUG] Vanishing Source List

Hi Listers, Just had something weird happen and wonder if anyone knows how to reverse it. Was adding a few people from sources I had already in my Master Source List. The next time, just seconds later, that I went to pick from the list, the entire thing was gone and in its place were three sour

Dave, are you having the same problem that Richard is having? If so, I fully understand why Sherry’s response is so important to you. Believe it or not, there are some solutions to issues/problems that are better handled off list between tech support and the person(s) having a specific problem
