It may not be a Legacy problem Jim, but to overseas users who have as
many as 3 dozen other programs installed, including 4 other genealogy
programs, all of which work OK with UK settings, I do wonder what it
is about Legacy and the OS that causes the problem. Different
flavours of Access have worked fine for me in recent years with the 4
different MS operating systems?
Its still a damned nuisance to have a program that bombs out on UK
settings and a damned nuisance when one has to reboot after resetting
the OS so that one can use the UK settings to run other programs when
necessary - rather takes the icing of the cake of what I would
otherwise classify as one of the best genealogy programs I've used to
date!
Please excuse blunt speaking, but that is how I feel......
