I merged Basic & Sourcewriter files & found it completely deleted my
details. I'm very sorry it was available & I tried it. I hope they don't
put it back until it actually works.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for pointing out this site. One Legacy reviewer said:
Biggest Pro: The biggest thing going for Legacy is a knowledgable
"crew" who is always there to help and a company who listens to and
trys to implement the things that the users want and need.
If this is true then I hope they will restore the ability to merge a
"Basic Source" into a "Sourcewriter Source" the way it worked in build
55. I know several other Legacy users are also unhappy that it is not
allowed after ver. 7 build 55. The helpful programmers decided since
merging Basic into Sourcewriter does not fill in ALL the blanks in the
source detail that it is best for us users not to be permitted to use
this feature at all. In build 55 all Basic into Sourcewriter merges
that I did were extremely successful in my opinion. (I didn't have
time to do enough merges before buld 55 was "IMPROVED"). All
multimedia and their comments were in place. ALL text comments,
(actual text transcriptions) were in place. On the Detail Information
page only the recorded date was in place. The missing fields in Detail
Information I copy /paste from text comments and it's all done.
They took it away from us because it doesn't fill in all the blanks. I
have news for the programmers. The "Source Conversion Tool" will never
convert my basic to Sourcewriter any better than a simple merge as in
build 55.
