Ron, Legacy has NEVER allowed more than two databases to be open at the same time.
Split screen does allow six views but only two databases can be open so those 6 views will be different sections of the two open databases. I was not able to find any version of Legacy that advertised 9 views. The most I could find was 7 in Legacy 4 and 5. Version 6 and above reduced that to 6 views.
