Though I've had Legacy 7 for several weeks now I've just now gotten
around to looking at/playing with the Charting Program portion.

I was away from my computer for 1 (one) day and came back to find over

Much has been said of late about the distribution of Version 7 through

problem. Found mine, anyway, was solved by increasing the number of
generations displayed.
You might see if that helps your situation.
