[LegacyUG] Is this possible?

Is it possible to go back to the previous Legacy version before this last update? The last update did something to my Legacy file and I can't fix it. Tech support worked on it for quite a while yesterday and they can't figure it out. In a nut shell, my main file is okay. However, if I try to

Clarify for me please. Joshua's comment implies the church controls Legacy. I understand the people at Legacy (and some other gen software) are at least predominately church members but I thought the software was independent and not a church product. On Sat, Aug 17, 2013 at 12:07 AM, Kathy

2013-08-17 Thread Sherry/Support
That's correct Cheryl. Legacy is not owned nor controlled by the church. Not only would it require extensive re-writing of Legacy's code to allow same-sex relationships, there would also be a ripple effect that would affect several of the Legacy add-on programs made by other companies.

As with any company, the personal values and religious beliefs of the owners influence how the company operates. It is Legacy’s prerogative to not have same sex marriages within the program. If this is a problem for anyone then they can use another software program that doesn’t have this
