ID for imported people

Post by CaptJack06 » Thu Oct 08, 2009 8:35 pm

I want to easily identify people imported into a chart. As there is a strong possibilty that there will be people with the same name I want to use the reference number given to each individual by Legacy 6.0, e.g. I am 1, my wife is 2 etc etc.

In Preferences, Import fields tab, I changed the format of the data type to include <ID>, however, the number that is shown isn't the same as the one given in Legacy, e.g. I am 2, my wife is 3 etc. If it was just 1 out it wouldn't be a problem but another individual should be 47 but is 49 and another should be 287 but is 302.

There is no number 1 in the chart.

Is there a problem with importing the Legacy ID?

Also, is it possible to import and use the Short Location Name? I could not see it listed in 'Fields available for this data type'

Thanks and regards

Ignore my last Post. I found the answer in 'Posted: Tue Jun 27, 2006 12:51 am Post subject: RIN Incorrect'.

The solution was to use the 'Person field

Sorry, should have looked more carefully the first time.
