After downloading the newest version today 8.0.0.509, when I went to
close the program, it prompted me to save changes. I want it to save
automatically, not ask each time, how can I change this.
Thanks.

Hi Anne,
Legacy saves your data as you enter it.
On exit you are prompted to Backup any Family File to which you've made
changes in the current session.
You need to backup your data. So don't do away with the prompt.
The backup needs to be made to or transferred to media off your computer.

I think I figured what prompted the save changes message. I think I closed

If you wish to open a file that was last used in v7.5 you will need to
create a gedcom in v7.5 and import that gedcom into v7.4. But why
would you want to open it in an earlier build? If you wish to share
the file with someone else who has Legacy, I would encourage them to

You are correct. Normally, the file structure will be different.
You can try to open the L7.5 file with L7.4 and it will tell u if it
can't open it.
I would make a backup copy of my L7.5 before trying to open the file in L7.4

There's no Save on Exit - just a backup prompt.
The Backup doesn't happen automatically. You get a prompt to do the
backup, but you have a choice whether or not you want to do it.
Glad you got the *prompt* to *backup* restored.

I have also discovered that while you cannot open two instances of
Legacy on the same computer you can share the database on a network
