Cheryl, Orinda, et al, First, COPY COPY COPY was just for emphasis. If you convert your only 7.4 family file, you cannot go back.
FS gets bug fixes with many new L8 builds. But Millennia is not sending out new builds of L7.5 so that version is not getting those updates. I have been using FS heavily with L8 build 367 all week without any problems. I may be a tester, but I get the same software all other users get. That does not mean that I have used every function of LFS. But I have connected folks to my FF, exchanged data both ways, done merges, marked possible dups as non-matches, etc. It could be that the problem for them is not with Legacy, but with their connection to FS. john.
