I agree, Gavin. To me, this is equivalent to the problem with SourceWriter source citations. I have long advocated that Legacy reformat these into readable detail citations during the process of converting them into Basic sources for the GEDCOM export. It seems that Millennia does not believe that a usable GEDCOM export is important.
Every proprietary new feature should have an option to be mashed into the primitive GEDCOM standard without loss of data.

Yes it won't be shared anymore but that is far preferable to not existing at all. Essentially, with this as it is you can't use shared events and then give your data to anyone who doesnt use Legacy :-( Thanks for making us aware of this one. Gavin... From: Kirsty M. Haining [mailto:khain...@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, 5 December 2013 11:48 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Shared vital Events Gavin, that is exactly what I’m saying. Using a gedcom export, the data shows up ONLY under the event initiator’s dataset. Keep in mind, however, that if you use Legacy to create your reports, charts, sharing via PDF files, etc. then the shared events should appear properly within the particular reports (according the report options you’ve chosen). The issue is with gedcom export.* cheers, Kirsty J *Or, technically, the issue arises anytime you’re using another software program to handle a Legacy file, be it gedcom or native FDB format.
