Arnold, Quite the opposite! You might not want to risk your main Legacy file without a backup the first day of a new build, but it is better to know as soon as possible if the features *you* want to use are working as set. Don't count on the first-day downloaders to check features for you because every customer uses the program a different way. Detail collectors rarely view printed reports with pictures or wall charts created with other software.
I took a quick look at the *unadvertised* late update [January 2006] of Legacy 5 just now. It looks like the yyyy-mm date format bug was fixed but not mentioned in the Revision History when the PDF creation tool changed. For some reason, the Legacy 5 customers who wanted yyyy-mm-dd format didn't notice the problem with partial yyyy-mm dates until Legacy 6 was released. A partial date of May 1850 ended up as 1850-1805 when I switched from yyyy-mm-dd format back to Month dd, yyyy in Legacy 5. No one answered a question on the list about finding "backwards" dates changed by using Legacy 5 with year, month, day date format. It is possible to enter date ranges like 1850-1805 with no error message in Legacy 6. Legacy reports have border lines [default] around pictures but Legacy "charts" have no border lines for pictures. Most pictures look better without border lines and that would be a better default setting for Legacy reports besides matching the chart setting. A border line option for pictures was added for reports about a year ago but not mentioned in Revision History. Border line check box comes back every time Legacy 5 or Legacy 6 file is closed. It is possible to change the "include border line" check box before printing a single report but a chore for a Legacy book with multiple reports with pictures. Builds of Legacy 6 Deluxe in 2005 had a line through a picture on one side and a white space on the other side when a report was saved as PDF. That problem seems to be fixed in 6.0.0.83 but wasn't mentioned in Revision History. -- Elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Arnold > The solution to this problem is to never, ever be the first to download > and install the newest update of *any* software program.
