You can, of course, work any way you like, but it is coming across very strongly from your posts that you really have not grasped the basics of using Legacy to maximise its potential. I really do recommend that you take some time out to work through the Tutorial found under Help, look at the training video previews (and purchase the videos if you can) and also watch Geoff's Webinars on entering Source material. Also remember that pressing F1 on any screen will bring up context-specific help. It will be time well spent and save you a lot of time and heartache in the long run. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
