Gene, I don't think you really answered my question. If in the past, if you wished to use United States, would you have had to edit every new entry? Since nobody has replied to the contrary, I am assuming the answer is yes.
My issue with all this is that I think you are misrepresenting the issue. The statement 'Legacy is changing my data' implies that that the upgrade actually changed some existing data, and I can't see that it did. What it seems to be is that you don't like the new default value used. You seem to be no worse off than the person who previously wanted to use 'United States', and had the system return 'USA'. That's a valid concern, but it should be stated as such. Legacy did not change your existing data. It is causing you extra work because your preference is not the same as the new system default, and that is the accurate description of the issue.

I used to be able to make a location entry then move on. Now I have the added step of having to edit EVERY new entry to bring it into compliance with the format I choose. Adding extra work to achieve the same result is not progress. It they want to change something, do it as a choice. -- Gene Young Researching Young, Harer, Cox & Sallada With Legacy Family Tree http://myyoungs.atspace.com/index.htm 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).
