Wendy,
I'm the original poster, not Jan.
I've been on the road today heading to my next research weekend. As I sit here looking at all the responses, I would say they've been very helpful. Thank you all. I believe the single database solution will work best for me given the convincing insights towards that end.
Regarding the negative exchanges here over my posting, I don't believe Mr. Herson represents Legacy nor did he have anything productive to add to the discussion and I'll leave it to this forum's moderator on how to deal with it. Obviously my inquiry was regarding a general research problem and how best I might apply Legacy to it.
I see these kinds of silly echanges in forums on all types of topics and I would submit that you will find that bad apple on virtually any public forum. Please don't be too concerned about a quick dismissal responding to one negative reply among so many positive ones. The Legacy program speaks for itself as do all of the add-on products that have been developed to support it. There's always room for improvement but, I spent a good deal of time researching features, flexibility, reviews, comparisions etc. before choosing Legacy and I think they've made a challenging hobby much easier to enjoy. Anyone wanting to do a great job with their hard work would be careful what tools they choose to use. Only a strong recommendation from a good friend might carry more weight.
Again, Thanks to everyone for their contribuitions. We all learn from each other's experiences.
Best Regards,
Timothy K. Cox
