1. Make a backup before you try a feature you've not tried
before. Then you can go back to what it was before you messed up
with the new feature.
2. OR make a duplicate of your data file but give it a different
name. Then you can mess with it any way you want. learning as you
go without hurting your original/main file.
3. Don't try to learn everything in Legacy at once. There's too
much. Start with the basic/simple things.
4. Find the keyboard short cuts. They will reduce the number of
keystrokes and tedium of entering data.

Leave out parenthesis.
5. Look for answers to problems that others have already
discussed here in the Archives (same address as in 4. above.
6. Don't be afraid to ask this group as you have just done.
Good luck
