RE: [LegacyUG] LG VERSION 7 RE IE7
Shirl, Yes you do need IE7. But may I try and dispel some myths that have been doing the rounds on this list. I have been using Legacy 7 since it was in the Beta release, initially with some trepidation, but it has never caused me any problems since then. Yes, the Beta release did have some bugs as one might expect but these have been resolved. Of course IE is the main target for hackers etc. and this is because it's the worlds most used browser rather than it inherently having more security holes than other browsers. I have installed on my PC, IE7, Netscape (now not supported), Firefox, Opera and Safari and I use IE far more than the others, which I mainly have to ensure my web pages will work on all common browsers. This is probably more out of habit rather than a concious decision. Firefox I use when writing PHP coding so that it is separate from my html. The one which does impress me though is Safari which has nice clean lines. However, to get back to Legacy! Whilst I can understand some resentment towards Microsoft, perhaps it is not very surprising that Legacy seem to lean that way since it is based on an Access database which, for those who do not know, is a Microsoft product. I would make it clear that I am a big fan of Open Source Software and have no predisposition towards Microsoft, but I do believe in horses for courses.

Re: [LegacyUG] LG VERSION 7 RE IE7
Shirl: Let me try to clarify your questions: Legacy V7 and when IE7 is required. = IE7 is only required if you want to use the new Mapping feature for Locations. No other requirement for IE7 has been imposed by Legacy 7, AFAIK. Personal browsing of the web outside of Legacy 7 is not changed and one can continue to use one's personal preference: FireFox, Opera, IE6, IE7, or anything else. (Just be sure to set you preference to the 'default' browser. They normally ask you automatically.) If you've been using the following features of Legacy 6: -- Home Tab (news, To-Do items, Statistics, Update) -- Research Guidance (eg: Lineage Linked Databases) -- Search the IGI website then you've been using an earlier version of IE (most probably IE6). If you've been using the Search Internet for Individual then you've either been using your 'default' browser or whatever you've set in Options/Customize/Launch for the Alternate Web Browser. If you install IE7 on your system, then you'll be able to use the new Mapping feature. Also, Home Tab, Research Guidance and Search the IGI website will then also use the IE7 web browser control. Search Internet for Individual will continue to use your specified alternate or the default browser. IE7 is required because the new Mapping feature uses Microsoft Virtual Earth to display the maps and the location pushpins. While earlier version of IE also work with Virtual Earth, they require additional special programming to properly handle the graphics and are non-standards compliant in this area. (Not that IE7 is perfect either, but it works without undue special programming.) The IE7 control is needed in oder make these features respond properly to Legacy's programming. I hope this clarifies that IE7 is only actually required for the new Mapping feature. Also, installing IE7 does not mean that you have to use it exclusively. Just install IE7, then re-open your preferred browser and when it asks you if you want to set it (your preferred browser) to be your default browser, click 'yes'. The IE7 will only run when Legacy 7 needs it. Note that some features of Legacy 6 and earlier have required an earlier version of Microsoft's IE to function. However that did not require one to use IE for regular web browsing. This independent use has been maintained in Legacy 7. .Hope this helps./Jeremy Shirl wrote: I am hoping one of you can clear this up for me.
