Jenny,
I did as you suggested and put the path to MS Works in the THIRD field,
and I believe I got it to work as needed. I will continue to blunder
around and may get it done yet.

doing something right......path names have never been my strong point.
A couple of points. Firstly, nothing is *saved* in Notepad. Notepad
is a program. When you save files from Legacy you can opt to save
them wherever you want, but Legacy - left to itself - will probably
put them in its own Data folder. With my setup that is C:\Legacy\Data
but you might have your Legacy program installed somewhere else.
Secondly, what type of output did you select for your Report? If you
selected Text (.txt) Legacy will ask if you want to view the vile in
your default Text Editor, which is Notepad. If you chose RTF (.rtf)
it will open the file in your default Word Processor.
If you want to open *Text* files in MS Works, you will need to put the
path to MS Works in the third field in Options>Customise>
Launch. Did you put it into the second field?
