Hi Dora, Would you please provide links to the information you found if at all possible. I would like to view it.

I had posted on Legacy's own forums on its web site, and elsewhere, my question as to whether Legacy ancestor reports and web sites include all spouses and step children for each ancestor. On the Legacy forum, someone said no, and since then, a number of Legacy users have reiterated that that is true. I unsubscribed from the Legacy forum when I got that first reply. I should have stuck around. If I had, I might have saved two weeks of time. People suggested that Legacy can do some kind of seriously impractical super book project where you can individually add family group sheets to everybody in an ancestor report. I purchased the program to atleast see what that and some other features would look like. Meanwhile someone posted on the gen-computing list that he has printed ancestor reports in legacy that include teh stepchildren, so I tried it. Legacy sure does include step children in ancestor book reports. Specifically, it provides the option to do so. Legacy also imported all my irregular dates exactly as I entered them in PAF. I have run into a real problem with programs that will not do one or the other of those two key features. What is more. Legacy prepared a nice looking sample web site that includes teh same information; if not quite the way I would have presented it, the information is all there and organized in a way that is easy for my relatives to follow, and the pages look attractive.

Eric, I haven't been able to duplicate any of these problems that you're referring to. I've been working with Picture Center for at least a half hour captioning pictures, adding pictures, removing pictures, etc. I was able to determine that pictures aren't showing the right IDType as Dennis indicated and I'm also seeing wrong IDIRs in some cases (that's the link that points to whatever the IDType indicates it should be pointed to). Captions were behaving themselves and when I removed links to pictures, they stayed away <g> Are you sure you're looking at the Attached Pics tab and not the Picture List tab? Who did you report the problems to? Did you send them to Support? We have only three issues in the Picture Center section and those have all been resolved (one yet to be released) and none of them refer to your problem. Thanks for using Legacy.

I think it might be. Not only is Legacy inserting the row incorrectly, but it appears to be retrieving it incorrectly also. At least it's consistent. ;-) >After clicking on remove picture, and the confirmation box in the >picture center, the entry is removed. >However....after closing the pic center and reopening it, the entry >has miraculously reappeared!" Same here. But in your case, your database is probably just fine. Legacy is just retrieving the wrong row and displaying it in Picture Center. Just don't use Picture Center to attach a picture to a 2nd marriage. Then your picture will probably end up attached to the wrong person. If you reported this in May, I wonder why it hasn't been fixed by now? -- Dennis Kowallek kowallek@iglou.com ******************

Since tblBR.IDType 30 point to tblER (an individual event), I looked in tblER to see who that event pointed to. Then I called up that person in Legacy and looked at her events.

Here is the actual bug I am encountering... When I assign (in Picture Center) an image to a man's 2nd marriage, a row is inserted into tblBR with an IDType of 30. IDType 30 points to tblER. It should be IDType 20 (tblMR). It works correctly when I assign the image to the 1st marriage. -- Dennis Kowallek kowallek@iglou.com ******************

Using 6.0.0.110. This question has to do with Legacy's database structure. Maybe someone can explain this for me... I go to Tools|Picture Center. I select an unassigned picture (U column is blank). The picture comes into view on the Picture List tab. But the caption "Marriage Record" is displayed. I looked in tblBR and this picture is nowhere to be found in the PicName column. So where is Legacy getting the caption from? I am troubleshooting a different problem and I came across this mystery in the process. -- Dennis Kowallek kowallek@iglou.com ******************

Yup. When it's entered on the Picture List tab, it saves you from having to re-enter the captions, etc every time you link that picture to an event, individual, etc. It carries over. Of course, you can modify or change it after you've linked the picture. Thanks for using Legacy.

Dennis, Yup. Now mind you, I'm referring to the caption entered under the "Picture List" tab. When you then link the picture, the caption is carried over to the Attached Pics tab. If you enter the caption under the Attached Pics tab, then it's entered directly in the main Family File tblBR. Thanks for using Legacy.

The following programs import your dates exactly as you enter them, and/or print entire families of ancestors with multiple marriages instead of assuming you only want certain spouse and children known, in an ancestor report. I have found that it is amazing what the existence of choices does for product developers when all intelligence, common sense, and ability to listen to customers fail. PAF, PAF Companion, Legacy, Roots Magic, Ancestral Quest, The Master Genealogist, adn The Complete Genealogical Reporter (a utility), all import your dates from your GEDCOM or database exactly as you entered them and leave them unaltered, no matter what you entered. The Complete Genealogical Reporter truncates whatever date text exceeds a certain length, but it does leave "abt 1835" and standard dual dates alone. In addition, he seems reasonable and to want to please, so I asked him if he could please lengthen that field. Two utilities that work with your GEDCOM; Brother's Keeper and The Complete Genealogical Reporter, include all the children of all the marriages of each ancestor in ancestor reports. Brother's Keeper makes you add spacing and bold text and font changes, but that goes alot faster than having to cut and paste in the missing information from all your French Canadian families with multiple marriages and then end up with no index!
