Ron, Thanks for your response however I still have the same questions. I am not LDS, but would like to understand what nFS is. Since I am not LDS is this something I will never be able to use?
Did the disappearing names on the index tab and notes come back for those affected? And was that just for a couple people? You're right I have not had much need for the source clipboard but I thought I read right after the new release that something was not available regarding the source clipboard that had been, and at least a couple people were very disappointed. I try to learn more features of Legacy as I go along and this is something I am interested in using. Thanks, Rita in South Carolina -----Original Message----- From: Ron Ferguson [mailto:ronfergy....@tiscali.co.uk] Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2010 7:35 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Questions about 7.4 and nFS Rita Lynn McKale wrote: > Hi, > I have not installed the latest version and I am a little nervous > about doing so.

To revert back, uninstall 7.4, and install v7.0, then restore from the back-up. You do not say if you are LDS, if not when the screen pops up sking if you want the nFS, say "No", otherwise "Yes". You are wrong to say that "removed like having more than one item on the source clipboard to select from". This was a change made when V7.0 was launched. If you have never noticed then clearly you are one of the majority who never used that function, so you were unaffected. Some bugs have been corrected in the new version, but other than those, if you are non-LDS you should see no change.
