And Thank you again, Rob! I sighed a great sigh of relief when you said there is a way to activate the option to confirm that one wants to sign out of the program and that it won't be come a part we all must do every time we sign out. A big thank you to the designers and programmers who spared me yet another of those dreaded "Are you sure" screens and yet provided that screen for those who appreciate it. Thank you! Marie

You can turn on a prompt to confirm that you meant to exit Legacy. It should be on by default, but if not: 1. Go to Options > Customize > Other tab. 2. Click "Turn On or Off Optional Reminder Messages" 3. A list of reminder messages is displayed. If the sixth one down, "Prompt for confirmation on exiting Legacy" is not checked, check it. 4. If it is checked, but you are not getting the exit confirmation, this is probably because you checked the "Don't show me this message again" box on the confirmation message at some time. To re-activate the message, uncheck "Prompt for confirmation on exiting Legacy", and click Close. Then repeat 1-3 above. You should now get a confirmation message prior to the prompt for Backup. Hope this helps. Rob ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.
