Hello, I have tried this (see below) and it doesnt seem to have worked.
Could somebody please advise what I have done wrong. 1. Copied all Geo*.txt files 2. Renamed Geo*.txt to Geo*-Alt.txt 3. In the counties file replaced all Aberdeen with Aberdeenshire and replaced United Kingdom with Scotland - It was interesting to note that Scotland did not get a mention in my txt file despite a very specific note at the top of the file saying that all possibilities were covered. Something wrong with the files that came on the install disk perhaps ? I then opened Legacy and expected to see Aberdeenshire instead of Aberdeen as a county However Legacy still insists that Aberdeen is a county and Aberdeenshire does not get a mention. Same with Banff and Banffshire I even added a new shire called AAAAAAAshire and Legacy cannot see this either. I then created a new country called AAA and this too is not detected by Legacy What am I doing wrong please ?
