Comment by Donald DeZarn on July 16, 2009 at 12:02pm: To those who responded to the Scroll Wheel bug I posted last night, thank you very much for confirming its existence.
I just submitted a bug report to Legacy, and I cited the responses on the group forum.

Comment by Phillip H. Pitzer on July 16, 2009 at 11:09am: I finally, able to get a good download and update. Everything seems to be working fine now. You never know how much you are going to miss a program until something does not work correctly.......... Thank God for Legacy..

Comment by Alanna C. Fitzgerald on July 16, 2009 at 9:11am: I was a long time user of Family Tree Maker until I tried Legacy's free Version. Just from the free version I was hooked! I have never regretted the change.

Comment by Eric March on July 16, 2009 at 3:14am: Comment to Donald DeZarn - following your instructions my system scrolls up and down the 'Name' List not the 'Immediate Relative' List. I suspect that it is a programming bug and the "focus" for the scroll action has not been set to the correct list.

Comment by Phillip H. Pitzer on July 15, 2009 at 9:09pm: I just joined GW today and checked the Lagecy Group where I found there is a new version 7.0.0.97, so I downloaded it (I downloaded it 3 times) every time I start Legacy after loading the new version I get the following messages:
"The Message File Record #13252 was not found"
"The Message File Record #13268 was not found"
"The Message File Record #13240 was not found"
Does anyone know how I can resolve this?
After I click OK on these three message I can load my data file and things seems to be find. Next time I open Legacy I have the same three messages, which I have to click OK and than load my data file...........
I am using Windows Visa, Home addition. Any help would be appreciated.

Comment by Donald DeZarn on July 15, 2009 at 6:16pm: Several years ago and many program versions in the past, I noticed a "bug" that has never been resolved because most deny it exists. At the time, others on the Legacy User Group, also said they did not experience the problem.
Step-by-Step to recreate the "bug":
1. Select the Name List from the Family tab view.
2. Within the Name List view, select the Family tab at the right.
3. Next, within the Name List view on the left, select an individual whose family member cause the scroll bar to appear on the right side of the Family tab view.
4. Within the Family tab view on the right, select an individual and attempt to scroll the the list of family members using your mouse's scroll wheel, if it has one.
5. I cannot scroll up or down within list of family member using my mouse's scroll wheel.
6. The mouse used years ago was a Logitech model on a different PC than the one currently in use. The current mouse is a HP model on an HP PC.

If anyone on the Group can recreate this "bug" as described, please post your response comments with the Group forum..

Comment by Susan L Philleo on July 15, 2009 at 5:13pm: I was doing genealogy on-line but I switched to Legacy last year and now I can check to clean up my data and when it is all complete then I can post to the internet or create GEDCOM's to send to other family researchers. I really like the program and encourage others to use it.

Comment by Karyn Van Kainen on July 14, 2009 at 2:24pm: I've had the program for about a year, and I'm almost finished with a narrative history of my father's side of the family. Next project is Mom's side! The program works much like a basic word processor, but with extra benefits that help organize your work, provide timelines, etc. The only criticism I might have is a desire for more word processing features like tabbing. Otherwise, I've enjoyed working with it.

Comment by John Archer on July 14, 2009 at 1:56pm: I had a look at Personal Historian's website Karyn and I must say it looked good. Have you used it extensively?

Comment by Donna Kay Railsback Braly on July 14, 2009 at 1:35pm: my favorite part of Legacy was that the sources usually take 1 page instead of 2 that familytreemaker was taking. that saves paper.
