Ron, The default settings change the spelling of some country abbreviations in the master Locations listing. In my case Denmark's DK (cap D, cap K) is changed to Dk (cap D, non-cap k).
Legacy does not have the courtesy to prompt me to see if I want this change. Thus Legacy don't trust my spelling (or me). My data file becomes corrupted. Thankfully "USA" was not changed to "Usa".
