Sherry,
Bing Maps seems to be working fine for me (finds locations and gives
directions) but I'm having the same problems as the others from within
Legacy on both my XP desktop and Vista laptop (using IE8 on both).
I've never had a problem with mapping before this.

Another suggestion - import a test file of you data to Legacy and just
play around with it for awhile. Try entering information in different
ways and then checking various reports and the many options within
those reports to see how it looks, what you like and don't like. In
general, get familiar
names--one for more than 200 people buried there.

Before you jump into changing everything, let me recommend that you

Master Location notes actually can be printed. If you create a

In addition to the reasons already mentioned by others, I like the

What you are trying to do can be done as follows:
1. Run a back-up (File, Back up Family File), give the file the
