Let me try again to explain this...
The GeoDB in L8 is an improved version from what Legacy has used previously. It is smaller without losing any content. It runs faster. It supports your GeoXXXCode-alt.txt completely.
If you are a Deluxe user, go to the Tools Ribbon and Click on the Location Database. That will guide you through the installation process for the location database.
Now, as you are one of the few users who have created these wonderful little files, you now have to COPY your GeoXXXCode-alt.txt files from your Legacy 7 Directory to the location for them for use by Legacy 8:
[My Documents]\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData|Misc|
where [My Documents] is you My Documents folder.
Just copy the files, Open Legacy, and they are working. Just like they did for you with Legacy 7.
I wish that Legacy could move these files for you the first time you install Legacy 8, but Developers must not have felt that was the right thing to do.
ok?

I want to use the v7 TYPE Geo Databases.
I have spent time in the past setting up & altering (as per Legacy instructions) the various Geo databases to produce an output that I liked.
I don't like to long spelling of the States and United States for one thing (takes up tooooo much space)
I still have those Geo files from V7 - and would like to use them in V8. PLEASE TELL ME HOW??
With clear instructions, I am not afraid to alter the registry. (Windows 7 - 64)
The > Tools> location>Geo Database is USELESS. It doesn't point to any database that can be CHANGED.
The only option is "Keep Matching Diacritics" - and who knows how to interpret that choice.
According to Dictionary .com and Thesaurus .com - There is No stand alone noun: "Diacritics" - no "s" = diacritical marks - for plural.
"Also called diacritical mark. a mark, point, or sign added or attached to a letter or character to distinguish it from another of similar form, to give it a particular phonetic value, to indicate as stress , as a cedilla, tilde, circumflex, or macron."
Thank you in advance,
