I periodically go through the Master Lists, especially the surname list and location list, to check that all the entries are correct. I often find that when I have entered a location I have missed a letter, or reversed a couple of letters, or that I need to find out more information about a place.
“Don’t change what I enter” is really useful because family names/ surnames can have a mix of lower and upper case, e.g de la Pole, de Vallibus, etc. so while I set the program so that the first name is automatically capitalised, I want the family/surname to be as I enter it. If I make an error, it is easy to fix by editing the surname list.

Hey all thanks for confirming this. Is there a Legacy Support staff on the thread who can log this issue? Selecting "don't change what I enter" is an option, however it is a workaround fix, not a solution to the root cause. Somethings amiss with Legacy's autocapitalization that should be logged as a bug.

Then from that time on, the "odd" capitalization entry in the Master List corrected all future entries of that location to the "odd" capitalization. I could fix it by going into the Location Master List, find the entry, edit both the short name and long name to be correct, and save it.

Note that if you've chosen Initial Caps, once you enter one capital, it reverts to Don't change what I enter as Legacy assumes you know what you're doing once you add capitals. See the Help which explains this. That's a weird auto-capitalisation though.

But not it is in the master list and it is capitalized - just the IRA. Hmmmm, does April 15 have anything to do with it? :) If you're using Legacy 8, you could go to Customiuse>Option 3.6 and check "Don't change what I enter", but this could be problematic if you aren't careful about capitalisation when ent ering other locations. -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com <mailto:LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com> To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ -- Evelyn Wilhelmson ej1...@gmail.com <mailto:ej1...@gmail.com> 509-998-6743 <tel:509-998-6743> -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com <mailto:LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com> To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/
