Further on this, Ian, yes, I absolutely love the PDF report creation feature of Legacy, and I use it a lot, saving anew anytime I have made major updates in the software. This would work great for anyone wanting to see the data. Was thinking more along the lines of someone in my family who might want to continue the work, in which case the software is the key issue. The point about running Legacy on a MAC is a good idea. Barb
