Hi Jenny:
And I agree. The reason that I switched from FTM to Legacy is that Legacy is much better. However, this issue is an important one. I have also seen others discuss this on the internet.
The post before yours from James may explain some of the drawbacks that I have been speaking of.
Thank you for your response.

Someone else has already pointed out that Legacy, being basically an
Access database, *does* store its Sources, and everything else, in
Tables. It is perfectly possible to access (no pun intended) your
database tables directly and manipulate them from there, if you wish.
Some of us sometimes find it possible do things that way which cannot be
done (or only with more hassle) directly in Legacy.
What we do *not* want - well, I certainly don't and I'm sure I speak for
many others - is for Legacy to be changed to be like FTM. We use Legacy
because it is *different* to FTM and infinitely preferable to FTM.
