After using SW last year for a few of my newer entries, I went back and changed all to the Basic and have since used only the Basic. I had so much trouble in the GEDCOM area, that I lost faith in the SW - its a good program if you do not intend to share via GEDCOM, and I do hope Legacy does not abandon the Basic Source writer.
