Amen!  And while the programmers are fixing things it would be nice if they 
would fix the scrapbook feature so that it would list document files (for 
example pdf files) just the same way it lists video and sound files.  All that 
is needed is to use the same logic for the entry in tblBR when PicName = If.jpg 
(a document file) as is used when PicName = Is.jpg (a sound file) or when 
PicName = Iv.jpg (a video file).  That should take only one additional "Else 
IF" statement.

Brian,

I only did the table edit in Access on a backup of the fdb file as an 
experiment to try to find the source of the problem.

However, Millenia's constant lack of support for their user's use of Access or 
other similar tools to accomplish things that Legacy cannot currently do is (in 
my opinion) very, very shortsighted.  It makes us wait for the next 
slow-developing upgrade that may or may not fix our particular problems with 
the software.  But worse, it stifles the creativity of Legacy users to find 
ways to improve the functionality of the program or to tailor it to their 
specific needs and preferences.

As an example, the Ltools program that is now free on the Internet, has a very 
useful to table viewer which I, and I suspect many others, have used to easily 
and effectively search for missing or mistyped data or inconsistencinies in how 
we enter our data. As issues are found, they can be fixed directly in Legacy - 
often by using it's powerful search & replace tool  - when it is working :)

Sorry for the rant. Just trying to help make the great program,  that Legacy 
is, even better.

Cheers,

Don
