Hi – On my new computer with Windows 7 I have followed John’s instructions to set up the data files. All seems to work fine. Now I need reassurance that I am properly copying my data files from the old computer to the new. I have always made two backups – one using the BK backup and the other by copying the whole program to a DVD. I have many folders in BK. To copy the folders to Windows 7 I am copying and pasting each folder from the backup DVD to the data folder in Windows 7. To my surprise the copied files are not Read Only. I realize that the data path for text and graphic files will have to be changed. All these files seem to be working just fine and allowing changes and additions. My question is – does anyone see a flaw in what I am doing? Will it come back to bite me along the way? Thanks. Carole

Dear John S I know that we are used to having just one record for each person - but why is this? As far as I can see, the functionality I was suggesting would be better - not worse - than one record per person. One point I did not mention is that sometimes you DO NOT KNOW whether two records are the same person or not. (I had two Thomas Smiths, both born in 1799. I merged them using the present laborious method. Then I found I needed to de-merge them which is of course even more difficult. Under my suggested procedure, merging and de-merging would be straightforward to do. But not straightforward to program, I admit!)

I'm doing a lot of merging databases and getting a lot of duplicates. Duplicates need to be merged i.e. some data is on record R1, other data is on R2. Sometimes they match completely (i.e. both say 1 Jan 1950), sometimes they match partially (i.e. R1 says 1 Jan 1950; R2 just says Jan 1950, or just 1950); sometimes they are in conflict (R1 says 1950, R2 says 1951). Relationships are another thing - R1 may link with children and R2 with parents. At present all this has to be done by hand which I find is virtually impossible unless you write it all out and then copy everything over by hand - it's VERY tricky! However, could we not have an "is the same as" relation. In the above examples we would just have a link under "Add" which would be "Add an identity relation". (Or maybe you would introduce a new individual who is identical to R1 _and_ identical to R2.) When the identity relation has been established, all events and relationships for R1 would also apply to R2. You could then show these on the screen altogether and they could then be edited in the normal way. (Thus you would see the two birthdates for R1 and R2 on th screen together, and would decide which to keep.) I'd welcome views on this idea: Is it useful? Is it doable? JOHN BIBBY

To John Bibby Rather than have a database with duplicates that are connected together, it is better to have each person only one time in the database. Have you use the Compare Two Databases routine that is in BK 6.5? I plan to do something similar to that with one database where you can merge two people from the same database into one person. So I am working on that currently.

Did you use the default location when you set BK up or did you change it? My advice is to create a folder c:\BK\Data and copy your data files there and the point BK to them. After all is ok delete the original files.

I am not familiar with the technical language Regards John -----Original Message----- From: Jim Dell Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2012 9:09 PM To: bk@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BK] How to find my RTF program [Microsoft Word 2010] John, Under options under the file menu select the RTF tab, make sure the Microsoft Word option is selected and text box must be the full path to winword.exe. With later version of Windows this can create problems because Windows uses long paths and BK still only supports the old DOS short path name. More research is required on my part to tell you the short path, but mine is "c:\progra~2\micros~2\office11\winword.exe". Yours might be different.

Hi I have also experienced this from time-to-time. I get around it by using the right mouse click menu to cut and paste.
