Okay, thank you. I have used the Relationship Calculator many times in 6.0, but never thought to use it to research a looping problem.
I was new to Legacy when the first update came after 6.0. Some of the technical "talk" on the user group scared me off--I was barely understanding 6.0, without trying to think about "new" things and potential bugs. Then when I updated my computer to Windows 7, I had much, much difficulty getting my Legacy 6.0 to run. Once it was up and running successfully, I have been afraid to update Legacy. Now, I'm dreading Windows 10. So, I see the handwriting on the wall that I am going to have to update Legacy so that I can eventually succumb to the forced use of Windows 10. Going from Legacy 6.0, as a non-technical person, to the latest version of Legacy, am I going to have a nightmare? Will it work well with Windows 7? And am I right that I should do that first (updating Legacy) BEFORE I eventually go to Windows 10?
