Dee, Isn't it the same in all Windows software? Whenever you ask to open a file in most packages, what you are presented with is a list of file names of the recognised types/extensions, and the window that appears is identical to the one in Legacy. I don't think I've come across a program that presents the extra information you can show in Explorer.
So I believe this is a standard Windows mechanism to open a file. If you want the details you need to right click on the filename and select properties. Alternatively write a nice letter to Mr W Gates and ask him to change the way Windows works :) Jack -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of dmw246 Sent: 12 April 2005 21:31 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] showing details Thank you so much! This has solved my problem in Windows Explorer. Now, does anyone know how to make it work with Legacy? I find that my list of family files to open still shows up without details no matter what I do.
