Jim S, I don't believe it. Send me your v5 file and I'll test it myself. Opening a v5 file with Legacy 8 doesn't change your data as you say it is. The display options may be set differently but the actual data hasn't changed.
Send me your v5 file to [email protected] Tell me what data to look for that you think was changed and I'll check your file by opening it with a clean (meaning brand new install) of Legacy 8.

I think this was a very bad policy. And it caused me several hours to change things back to original. I know I can change this default setting before I install my data. But during install Legacy doesn't ask if I want to keep my data the way I wrote it. And I forget Legacy thinks it knows better how I want certain foreign words spelled. Later after installing my data, I discover ... !@#$%^& Legacy should trust us. Legacy should have the courtesy to ask if we want any changes. That should be the default in my opinion. Legacy should trust us first. Has this spelling default been changed in versions later than v.5? If so, I may buy the newer version even if it is fatter and slower. I've used several genealogy programs starting with Roots II back in the 1980s. Legacy has been the best. I even suffer Windoz $#!+ so I can use Legacy.
