All these workaround seem to work but I was just wondering why nobody just makes a copy of their existing database and then Legacy is perfectly happy with having both open at the same time simply because they have two different file names. If you make your extra copy just before you want to have multiple windows open, then the data in both is identical. Just be careful that if you make any changes that you do it on your “real” database and not the copy.

The easiest method is by keeping an up to date gedcom at Rootsweb world connect and opening those pages in regular window browsers. You will not find much of anything that is faster or more secure for your desktop pc than an Access database foundation as Legacy uses, and I for one would never want a reduced response time as far as data entry goes. But thats just my own personal opinion.

Access (the db system underlying Legacy) doesn't seem to allow this. So that's an indication that version 8 hasn't changed anything in that area. What's really wanted is a Multiple Document Interface system, but that would entail a total rewrite. For the foreseeable future, you'll just have to put up with the Split Screen feature :-) -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg (g) Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ 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).
