My OS Windows 8.1, 32 and 64 bit computers, Legacy version 8.0.0.454 setup
to connect to FamilySearch with remembered name and password.
Some individuals in FSFT have under “Facts and Events” an entry “Life
Sketch” e.g. William Scott b. 25 Sep 1801, d. 1 Jun 1880, FS ID# LWQM-F3Q. The
Life Sketch Event’s description can be quite long and far exceeding 255
characters. When I try to share this type of event by downloading from FS to
Legacy on my computer Legacy stores the information in Table tblER and tries to
store the description in a 255 character field tblER.Description rather than
the proper MEMO field tblER.Desc (What a poor choice of field names!). When
the Description field overflows (>255 characters) a message is sent to FS that
causes it to instantly drop my internet connection and generate an OS Error on
my computer. Until I have deleted the offending event I am not allowed to
reconnect to FS with that person active.
This error was reported to Legacy about a month ago and a ticket for repair
generated, but the error was not fixed for version 454.
I do not know anything about uploading a Life Sketch Event to FS, but I have my
doubts.
