The former. Although the latter is also a problem, it does not affect me. I wonder if moving to the .NET framework will require OS upgrades? I believe add-on programs are the way to go for features like certain reports that not everyone needs. Book reports for example. Or an add-on that produces web-pages. These kinds of tasks kind of stand on their own ... i.e. they don't update the db or interact with Legacy's primary functions. I don't know enough about research guidance (since I don't use it), but maybe that could have been a candidate for an add-on? Maybe not. As far as convenience is concerned, I don't have a problem with having to open up a 2nd program to gain access to a feature that maybe I'll use only once a day max. Including a feature in Legacy (such as research guidance) may be a convenience for one person, but an inconvenience for another (i.e. the person who doesn't use it but has to download the extra 8 mb each time). Research guidance is an extreme example, and I am sure there are ways to address this "inconvenience" short of making it an add-on. I was wondering if the Legacy developers have ever considered building an interface that would allow 3rd party tools to be directly "plugged in" to Legacy? Maybe similar to the way Paint Shop Pro allows "plugins"? These 3rd party tools then would appear as menuitems within Legacy (appropriately flagged as non-Legacy code) and pop-up as dialogs. -- Dennis M.
