Why? As has been said, Legacy8 will install alongside Legacy7.5 And use a

a Sourcewriter conversion facility I thought it would be easiest, at least

Surely the whole point of Cancel is that you don't want to Save any
changes you have made?

Hi Marli,
do you enter the date accessed or not and why?
Not sure which date you mean, so will answer for a couple of different

Marli,
Whether or not you use a special event for Birth Certificates is up to you.
I don't.
I just add it as a source for the data on the certificate.
I think you need to add it as a source for the actual data and not
just as a special event but you may want a special event so it's easy

I seem to have no option to open a family file in 7.5.
If you don't opt to convert the file to Legacy 8 is there no
alternative.

The problem is I don't have an option.
If I open 7.5 - go to open family file - the file of all my old files
opens - I select a file - press open and I get the message to convert.
If I say no I get the message I have an older format.

When you get the message to convert you need to say yes as the 7.5 file was
