Pat, Ok, I now see where you are coming from, I wasn't able to complete the steps as the application was busy, but saw enough. When you click that link you are no longer in Legacy but actually in the Legacy website, over which the program has no control - see the URL at the top of the Legacy Home page. I have often found that when clicking a link from another/any site the browser which that site favours is selected. Legacy has no control over this, and I have yet to find a way of controlling it.
