I will send the suggestion through, thanks, Sherry :) :) :) I have done the split screen thing and dragged the them across the two monitors. The problem with that is, if you go from one view to another, you lose it (like going from the family view to individual view or to the sources window).

There is no option for a preferred source, but that sounds like a good idea! Submit a suggestion using the form on our website www.LegacyFamilyTree.com > Help Center > Make a Suggestion. In the Master Source List (View.> Master Lists), you can select to "Exclude this source from reports". However that will apply to all uses of this source. 2. It's not necessary. You can open multiple files by using View > Split Screen and then copying parts of the file or the whole file from one file to another by using a drag-drop. There are a couple of articles on our website at www.LegacyFamilyTree.com > Help Center > Tips > Split Screen View:The Power of Using Two Databases Side-by-Side. And yes, you can display the two files on separate monitors - I do it all the time. Make sure the program is in a window and not full screen. Stretch it across the monitor and then adjust the split screen view so one file is on one monitor and the other file is on the other monitor. If you have two different versions of Legacy, once a file has been opened in the more recent version, the only way to open it in an older version is to create a gedcom in the newer one and import that into the older one.
