If you are using Windows 7 and have windows snap enabled then with Legacy opened in one window and your browser in another, just grab the title bar of one window and drag it all the way to the right side of the screen then grab the title bar of the other window and drag it to the left side of the screen and the two windows will “snap” together.

When you have finished with the dual screen act, go to the Task bar and "Undo tile" Boyd  On 24/09/2012 8:31 a.m., JLB wrote: 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. In the article Geoff stated that you could change the Legacy view to 'split view' and then use one of the window splits to access the internet. I can get the Legacy home page in this but can't navigate away from that as I don't have a URL space to input the web address ie at the top of the webpage. Does that make the issue any clearer? Thanks.
