Not really but maybe. Somehow you've got Legacy opened across half of your browser so you can't see the address bar? Maybe we're having a language problem.
Ok let's back up the train. I personally would not split a screen using Legacy on both halves for this purpose. What I would do is drag the handles on the edge of my Legacy database so it takes up half the monitor. Then I would open my browser and do the same thing for the other half. If you're using W7 you don't have to drag the handles. Just drag one screen left and drop it and the other screen right and drop it and they'll automatically split the monitor in half. I did not even know there was an address bar on the Legacy home page. First of all, they use Internet Explorer that I absolutely can't stand so it's not even an option even if I did know it was there. Anyway, try that. You can certainly split a wide screen monitor to fit two screens. Aha! Perhaps the problem is your browser becomes too narrow to see the address bar?? OK, I'm on my knees. Please tell me that I'm even remotely close to what you're talking about. --- JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog/ On 9/23/2012 12:33 PM, Jane Colquhoun wrote: > Hi > > I'm only working on one monitor.
