Thanks - but why should Legacy be trying to match Event Definitions at
all? And matching to what?? The "top radio button" says "For this
IMPORT, always show this window when iINCOMING event is different".
Well I was doing an EXPORT, so why did I see this box? Is it actually
asking whether I want to revert to the Default Event Sentence, or Save
my personal wording? If so, what is the effect of clicking "Close"
rather than "Save" for each screen? Perhaps I've discarded my Custom
Sentences! Aaargh.
Ah sorry - brain wasn't properly engaged and I missed the Import/Export
discrepancy.
Well I have just tried Exporting a file to a *new* Legacy file and this
screen did not appear. That suggests one of two things - either you
were accidentally importing rather exporting which is *highly* unlikely,
I suspect! Or you were exporting to an existing file, in which case
from the point of view of the existing file it was an import.
If you have made changes to the default Event Sentences, you would
expect to see this screen if importing into an existing file where the
Event Sentences were unchanged, or changed differently. Whether or
not the Sentences in the importing file will be changed depends on which
option you selected.
If you "back out" of that screen by closing it rather than saving, the
option setting will stay as it was - I think the first option is the
default. The Save will only have an effect if you select a different
option - ie make a change to that screen.
I am sure you will find that nothing has been changed in the file you
were exporting from.
