Afternoon Stan,
Allow me to preface my comments by stating I am not a beta tester for version
7, so I have not yet evaluated the actually content of the upcoming software.
Jim Terry kindly referenced a page from one of my two domains, the specific
page dealing with Legacy and a 'work around' to record the information about
which you ask. As that page identifies, Legacy provided (well, actually Jim
provided) information about changes in version 7. Once Legacy releases version
7 I will be adding the new information for that version to my site. Those
changes go a long way to assisting.
Best,
Denise L. Moss-Fritch
