I understood that IntelliShare was automatic. Legacy automatically assigned an internal ID. As long as the other person (people) got the file from one keeper, then the keeper should be able to do the import/merge/dup stuff without doing anything special other than indicating IntelliShare in

[LegacyUG] Legacy Charting Background Question

1) When updating Legacy, does that automatically also update Legacy Charting? Or do we need to monitor/update each individually? 2) Is there a way to flip the BACKGROUND picture in Charting? I know you can flip an INSERTED picture, but can't figure out how to flip it as a background. Or,

Ron, So you keep GenViewer open to the same database that you also have open in Legacy? I know GenViewer doesn't offer any modification options, but don't you end up with some file lock conflicts anyway? Why use GenViewer (and have to keep ALT-TABbing back and forth) vs just doing a LINK

Jim, As I understand it, the Source Converter was more difficult to implement than they thought it would be. So rather than hold up Legacy's release some more, they released version 7 without the converter. It is my understanding that they are still working on it and will include it in a

Different versions of Legacy seem to play nice with each other. I've got Legacy 5, Legacy 6, and Legacy 7 all installed on the same PC. Of course, be SURE you specify a DIFFERENT INSTALL directory! I like having both old and new version installed - it allows me to keep working with the older
