There is plenty of evidence in the archives of this group, that various Settings are not always persisted from one execution of Legacy to another. To my way of thinking, people cause unnecessary problems for themselves by a) keeping windows running overnight and b) keeping Legacy running when they're not using it. Your settings, and the overall behaviour of Windows, will benefit from regular shutting down, switching off, restarts and what have you. This is not a problem that particularly bothers me, since I use the program for its' original purpose - as a database for storing my data. I'm not in the least bothered about all the fancy reports and charts. As for your comments about the Index list... You're perfectly correct. That's what to do if you want to keep a particular order and size of columns. The only difficulty with it is, you have to keep reloading your favourite layout each time you run Legacy. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
