Re: [LegacyUG] V7 Install
Provided you choose a different installation folder for each version, you can have multiple versions of Legacy on the one computer. They can each have their own data folders or all draw from the same data folders. Your choice.

Re: [LegacyUG] V7 Install
I installed Version 7 standard the other day and although I specified a distant location it went right into the middle of my Legacy 6.

RE: [LegacyUG] V7 Install
Sorry, JL, but I don't understand it went right into the middle of my Legacy 6 - do you mean that you installed over Legacy 6? If so then no, it will not be necessary to reinstall.
