Ron: Yes, I understand that V7 was a huge change and that recent updates have been relatively minor "tweaks" but after having gone through months of misery after the initial V7 upgrade I now have a version of Legacy that works beautifully for me and I'm just not inclined to mess around with it. Others are welcome to jump on the newer bandwagons, but I'm standing pat--probably for a good long while.

I can understand a reluctance to *Upgrade* to a new version where complete new sections of code, or functionality, have been added eg. in V7 there was Mapping, Source Writer, integrated Charting etc. An *Update* is quite different and involves the correction of coding bugs present in the current version, and maybe the improvement in the way in which a function operates. Rarely does this introduce other problems.
