Phil, I was curious about your question, so I've done a little investigating.
First of all, I suspect that you have probably ENTERED all your surnames as capital letters. I have entered mine normally, but choose to let Legacy convert them to all caps for reports. If that is the case, then you need to click on the Standardization tab of the Potential Problems report and uncheck the last box, which considers surnames typed in all caps as a potential problem. The interesting thing I've discovered is that you can get several different formats for this report. If you click "Create Problems List" then you get a list that you can work with - go to each individual and edit from the list. (Fabulous feature!) If you then click "Preview" from that list, you can specify if you want a detailed, abbreviated, or summary report. The reports that are generated this way do not have the surnames in all caps, since I did not enter them that way. However, if I click Preview directly from the initial Potential Problems Report screen (not create list or view existing list), then the surnames are in all caps. Very interesting. Thanks for prodding me to do a little more exploring in V7. I'm very happy about it, too.
