I remember when this topic was raised here before and I think a few people have been caught out. I think it's the position of the bar icons which leads to the misunderstanding, but I can't see that there is really anywhere else to put them, unless perhaps positions of the Anc & Des (British people at least will know why I always want to call them Ant & Dec!) gubbins and the bar icons could be swapped over. In fact, I think I will put that forward as an enhancement suggestion. -- Jenny M Benson 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
