Lorraine,
I don’t think there is an answer to your second question, but this is off the
top of my head and I am afraid that I am really too busy to look in detail at

To the first part: have you considered using the Publication Centre and adding
a Relationship Report?

That is probably the case. I however imported a temple list for testing.

My V7.5 has the file Preposition_English.lst with a created date of 10/11/2010.
I first installed my Legacy in December of 2009. Perhaps that created date

Thank you so much, Dennis! That works perfectly.
As for your earlier observation about Preposition_English.lst and Legacy
