I have the same, and similar problems. I suggested to Legacy years ago that they had the underpinnings of a unique solution to this problem (among existing genealogy programs) already built into their existing code. The key to this solution is tags. I recommended that they implement an additional set of tags that were not for general use but were for situations as you have delineated. I thought this could also be a solution that would allow me to combine all of my databases into one. Then when I entered Legacy I could select the portion (or portions) I wanted and the rest of the data, although it all lived in the same database, would be transparent to me. Maybe it's harder to implement than I thougt, but it would sure make life easier in a number of instances. BTW - they never responded. Dennis

I have a database of 15,000+ names, I have many people who want to share part of that information but not all 15,000+ people. Therefore, I create a report and I have to save it to my hard drive in order to send it by e-mail. I don't want my hard drive filled with these little bits of information, do I have to go back to FTM to avoid this. Please don't suggest that I create, save, send, then delete. To me that is just asking for a hard drive problem. I want to create a report, copy it and paste it into an e-mail. I use v 5.0 Deluxe, but do not see any way to accomplish this.
