Hi Bill, I take it that for a start you don't use the SourceWriter and secondly that you don't care about the Added and Modified Dates.
Going from Legacy to Legacy with a Gedcom is an emergency only procedure. It is the only way back to Legacy 7.5 from Legacy 8 but I would lose far too much information with just those losses. BTW: If anyone is wondering where the Added and Modifed Dates have gone, hover on the bottom right corner of Family View and click the square that appears.
