So, asking a simplistic basic question here, as I try to figure out how this happened, and before I take my nervous self to the computer this morning to try to "fix" this: Does it appear that I in effect have two installations of Legacy on my computer (one that I access through the Legacy icon, the one I THOUGHT I always used), and the other that somehow showed up as a link on my desktop that I must have used to access the program at least once, like three days ago when I input my FIL information). Because if it's just two ways to access the same program, why wouldn't it save all the data, no matter which location I accessed the program from?
