Howard, I copied what I found in the Help file for Legacy in the topic of "Entering Dates in Date Fields", accessed by looking at "Dates: Approximating" or "Dates: Entering" in the Help index, and it *is* supported as I stated in my previous email.
You are correct that it's not in Options > Customize 5.7 but it wasn't listed there in v7.5 either. Est *is* supported in Legacy v8. There is *no* complaint from Legacy if you wish to use that for a date prefix.
