    1. Re: [RMagic] Problem with place details

    3. If you delete a Place Detail from the Place List, it is no longer available to any of the events that used it and they will be blank. If, rather, in the Edit Person screen, you delete a Place Detail from an event, The Place Detail remains in the Place List and continues to be available to all other events that use it. Your terminology is confusing. There is no death place detail list nor is there more than one Place Detail list for any one Place. There can be a Place Detail list for a Place that is used by a death event or any number of events of mixed types. And each Place Detail can be used by many different events and types of events. That's the double-edged sword of relational databases - you only have to enter and maintain the data for the place in one location but deleting it removes it from all uses! This does not sound like a bug. Tom -----Original Message----- From: Jon Czarowitz Sent: Friday, October 05, 2012 3:49 PM To: rootsmagic-users Subject: [RMagic] Problem with place details I was checking my cemeteries on people view using place detail as alpha. When I got to the oners in McKinney that should have been Pecan Grove Cemetery, it should 1405 W Louisiana which was a residence address. In checking the edit screen I found that every McKinney burials had that address, not the cemetery. Also the place detail view for all uses of McKinney had the same listing including cemeteries. I made the mistaker of deleting the unwanted details from the death place detail list. It removed the same ones from all place detail lists for that location. If anyone has had the same problem, can you tell when it started. I have gone back many backups and find the same thing. I am using XP with latest updates for RM 5. I can duplicate the problem. It is using the first name in the place detail list. Because of the detail deletion of the cemetery on that one place i have no cemetery for McKinney place detail location and a blank where the cemetery should be on the edit screen and people view. Thanks for your help. -- -- Jon P Czarowitz, NHC, GF, GGF, IGC Hempel Genealogist since 1986 International Genealogist for http://www.clancunninghamintl.org RootsMagic 4 http://www.rootsmagic.com CUNNINGHAMS TOGETHER - CUNNINGHAMS WORLDWIDE! =================================== RM list Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/ROOTSMAGIC-USERS/ http://archiver.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/search?path=ROOTSMAGIC-USERS WISH LIST: http://www.rootsmagic.com/forums/ BLOG: http://blog.rootsmagic.com/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ROOTSMAGIC-USERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
