Hi Cathy
Thanks for answering. I USED to be a HARD-CORE FTM user but once I used
LEGACY for a trial 40-person input FTM gone! LEGACY here but I imported my
FTM files and so the sources look like they all imported into the notes and
I want to go through and make it Legacy-wise right. I like your suggestion
and I shall begin doing that today after mail is all handled
