I waited till the message traffic re: Version 6.0 had died down to order the
new version--feeling that fewer complaints meant no really crippling bugs.
I did try to scan most of the messages to get an idea about the problems
being encountered, but don't remember this particular problem so maybe it is
only my system configuration.
Downloaded Ver 6, Deluxe, this afternoon.
Problem:
When I enter a location, I always enter as complete a description has I can;
e.g., Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa, USA. I have selected to have the
Short Location name displayed on the Family View, but after entering a
location as above, Legacy chooses to enter a short version of its own
choosing, e.g., Oskaloosa, IA, in both the Family View screen and the
Individual Information screen. This occurs even if I haven't entered a
short location name, or if I have, a different short name. In addition,
even if I'm not entering a new location, if I open an Individual Information
screen in which I've already entered the locations in Ver 5.0, the locations
are converted to short names with no action on my part. I suspect that
there are some customize selections which didn't convert from 5.0, but I've
searched throught the Customize screens and the Location options and haven't
figured out the problem.
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas how to solve it? I'm reluctant
to do any work with Ver 6.0 until I figure this out because I don't want all
the Location Names changed from the way I want them.

Any help gratefully appreciated.
