FTM does make the best charts of all kinds, when will Legacy do the same,
I used to use Mac's Reunion,still think it has all the best features.
May have to go back to FTM or Reunion if the next update of Legacy does not
include a great charting program, that is Real Trees as in its name.
My guess is that you are seeing the LOCATION where the backup file
will be stored, and that you installed Legacy 6 into the Legacy5
folder. If that is the case, no, it doesn't matter.

Well, just a small word of caution. On another post, Judie has been

You can avoid that sentence in the report by ticking the

Thankyou for that.

Hi Nancy,
I get almost identical problem for any year;
Using 2006 is easiest to do:
Jan 1 = 05 Aug 2006
Feb 1 = 02 Jan 2006
Mar 1 = 03 Jan 2006
Apr 1 = 04 Jan 2006
May 1 = 05 Jan 2006
Jan 2 = 01 Feb 2006
Under Options Dates I have selected dates displayed as 21 Jan 1953

Thank you, Paul, I do believe you've solved the problem. I reset my
computer to D-M-Y (just like what was in Legacy) and rebooted it & have
not been able to recreate the original problem. It was unusual though
that it only occured in 1993, wasn't it? Anyway, thanks again for your help.

I export from my main file all persons who would be found in a film or

Nancy,
1993 was not a leap year and when I tested the Calendar function for the
dates you used it worked perfectly for me. I also tried it in Version
5.0 as well as Version 6.0 since you did not say which version you are
using. Both worked the same way.

Legacy saves data to your hard drive pretty much as it is entered.
That's why you don't have to save your file periodically. I lost data
in a very similar way several years ago. I finally figured out that I
