Brian. I am the one who brought up this subject, of course there may well have been others who mentioned this earlier. You have made a very good point, why doesn't Legacy back up this file? But being a older guy, and somewhat old fashioned, there are times when I do like a Print Out. Perhaps Legacy could give us a PDF file of all the settings in the Customize Screen settings. This has the advantage of being able store that print out in a file folder; somewhere. Also if you have a complete computer 'crash' the print out will not be lost. Yes, you could put that file of a 'Flash Drive'; and this is a good idea, as long as you don't lose that Flash Drive., I have a 'dickens' of a time keeping control of all of my Flash Drives. Just a thought. Thanks for comments.
