*I* did not get the error message. You found a trial version? I googled, and that didn't come up in the first 30 hits for me. Could you send me a link? They did not give me the exact wording, but they said it indicated the Legacy created PDFs were corrupted. But I seriously doubt that.

Thanks. I didn't intend to suggest the DEAT Y tag was incorrect, only that it created problems in FTM with the creation of blank Locations instead of non Locations. Like I said I have a lot of issues with FTM and this is a small one. C.G. Ouimet Kingston, ON -Original Message- From:

Cecelia, I would not have thought so, but haven't tried using Legacy in another language. One thing, though, I suspect that the keyboard short cuts will not be the same because (a) I expect you have an English keyboard and (b) The initial letter of the German function will be different.
