Re: [LegacyUG] Data limit

I've seen files with over a million individuals and a smaller file (fdb) size and one with over 500,000 individuals pushing the 2 GB limit. Besides individuals, notes, sources, events, etc all need to be taken into account when determining what the file size is going to end up being. But the more

Re: [LegacyUG] Data limit

I have seen strange problems occur with files that get too big - anything much over 1.5 - 1.75 GB. It bogs down when running check/repair and other tools. Yes, 2 GB is the Access limit. Sherry On Mon, Feb 6, 2017 at 6:37 PM, Bob Austen wrote: > Hi Sherry, > > > > I’m well over the 1GB limit

No limit on number of individuals, but there is a file size limit of 1 GB. The Overflow error is something that you need to contact support about. It could be due to any number of issues. Sherry On Mon, Feb 6, 2017 at 6:18 PM, Amy wrote: > Is there a limit to the number of names in Legacy? My

Re: [LegacyUG] Help with Source Writer & Clip Board

JoAnne, If your Basic sources are well formatted there is no point in converting them to SourceWriter sources. If they aren't, then the SourceWriter Templates can help you create a better source. I've converted some and not others and still have some to go. That's because when I was first so
