Thank you, Dennis. If I ever get everything sorted out that I have now goofed up, I will remove the Description field as you recommend as it just seems to be a problem looking to happen again. One more thing I wish I had known when I started using Legacy. :-)
As for where it could be put when transferred to the upper portion, I think they could put it off to the side under the "+" where the address, notes, and pictures are. Thank you for your input.
