Shirl, Yes you do need IE7. But may I try and dispel some myths that have been doing the rounds on this list.
I have been using Legacy 7 since it was in the Beta release, initially with some trepidation, but it has never caused me any problems since then. Yes, the Beta release did have some bugs as one might expect but these have been resolved. Of course IE is the main target for hackers etc. and this is because it's the worlds most used browser rather than it inherently having more security holes than other browsers. I have installed on my PC, IE7, Netscape (now not supported), Firefox, Opera and Safari and I use IE far more than the others, which I mainly have to ensure my web pages will work on all common browsers. This is probably more out of habit rather than a concious decision. Firefox I use when writing PHP coding so that it is separate from my html. The one which does impress me though is Safari which has nice clean lines. However, to get back to Legacy! Whilst I can understand some resentment towards Microsoft, perhaps it is not very surprising that Legacy seem to lean that way since it is based on an Access database which, for those who do not know, is a Microsoft product. I would make it clear that I am a big fan of Open Source Software and have no predisposition towards Microsoft, but I do believe in "horses for courses".

Now maybe its me, and I am completely misunderstandiing the issues here. Is what you are trying to get across, that in order for the new version 7 of LG to fuction in every area effeciently; that one must also have IE 7 on their computer?? If so I am in big trouble; I have IE6 on my computer and have NO notion of ever ugrading it to IE7; (it in itself can be so toublesome.) Comeon now according to you long time users here; I understood that Legacy and the Millennia Corp were tops in Family Tree prorammes. Why on earth would they go to all the work of producung yet another newer version and have it connected in any way to a securtiy programme or any MS products. This would be favouring some products while shunning others and not be in their best interests of Millennia Corp.. Is the direct casue of all the error messages as well as blank pages, you people are having now with LG7; the direct results of not having IE7? Thanks to any one that can clear these questions up for me. _________________________________________________________________ All new Live Search at Live.com http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/msnnkmgl0010000006ukm/direct/01/ Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
