Hi I find that the relationship calculator works OK for me. Have used the Potential Problems Report to check your data. This may help.

I have agreed with Elizabeth on this matter many times. I am waiting for them to fix this as well as it is important. The reports need updating as well. It is frustratiing when new "bells and whistles" are added without fixing the broken parts of Legacy. A lot of us want this particular fix. I hope they will LISTEN ! I did defend the Legacy Support on this last thread though as it felt more like an attack than anything else. I may be wrong, but that's how it felt and I didn't like that. It was also becoming tedious. A lot of new people were wanting questions answered and that wasn't happening. Usually when a thread goes on too long and becomes tedious they will step in and say so. Now I feel if they do, they will be considered to have "big ego's". They are a small group remember, so lets give them a wee bit of slack. But keep on complaining and asking and hopefully they will get this fixed very very soon. Carol P.S. Is it a very difficult and time consuming project for you to fix the Relationship Calculator, Support? I hope not.
