I hear you and agree.
On the other hand one must remember that Legacy is based on Microsoft
Access. As someone who has long used Microsoft products, let's remember
that the fault may be not with Legacy's programmers but with Microsoft's
notorious bugs. It is Microsoft that has perfected and popularized the
policy of using paying customers as beta testers.

Unfortunately, this is a problem that seems to afflict most Legacy
updates, if not to the extent of the problems with the current version.
For each thing that is fixed, something else is now broken. Anyone who
depends on being able to actually USE features in Legacy that HAVE worked
before can NEVER safely upgrade to a new version. It is always necessary
to wait a while to find out if some poor souls have put themselves out of
business by installing the latest version. Apparently the paying
customers are in fact the real beta testers.
About this time last year we were in the same situation, with a lot of
people scrambling to find alternative ways of producing reports (that had
worked in previous versions) for upcoming holiday gatherings. I, for one,
would gladly settle for each update having fewer actually-new features in
exchange for fewer newly-broken features that I depend on!
