Have you checked your master locations list and verified your short location names. Sounds like maybe in the transfer all the short location names got reset to match the long location names. I know when a new location gets created, the short is just set equal to the long. If the master location list got rebuilt rather than transferred, it would result in the short names being the same as the long.
From: T. A. [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2014 8:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Can't Use Short Place Names in Legacy 7.5 Charting I recently transferred my Legacy 7.5 Deluxe (version 7.5.0.278) program and data to a new PC. The old computer was running Windows XP/SP2 (32-bit); the new computer is running Windows 7 Pro/SP1 (64-bit.) Now, on the new computer, in Legacy Charting (version 7.5.129.976), I can't use short location names in any of the charts. Checking the box for this option in the Legacy Options dialog box (Help & Options tab --> General (Options) --> Legacy chart Options) has no effect; only long location names appear in the chart boxes. This issue didn't exist on the old computer. How can I fix this problem? Thanks!
