This thread has turned up some very interesting uses of the program's

My understanding is that the 36 character Unique Identification Number

You can't install Legacy on an external hard-drive. You can copy all
the installed files from your C-drive to the E-drive and then use the
files on the E-drive and back up the files to that location and move
your E-drive to other computers that have Legacy installed, if you want
to do that.

If I'm reading this right, your 'external' hard-drive was actually a
second internal HD. I believe the reason that it won't install to an
external hard-drive is that there's no registry there. It's a portable
device like a flash-drive, just bigger.

There is no registry on my E:
At the risk of getting into a debate on semantics, I agree with Dennis; nothing
has changed and I have mine installed on my E-drive which is an external HD.
Naturally, because the register is on the C Drive the Millennia entries are in
that register and point to E:/Legacy/. To be perfectly

Did OP, Joan, get lost in this fray? I think what we got to is that you
cannot install Legacy on an external drive, independently. It will
still put registry keys and dll's on your C-drive. Is that where we

I just don't understand why you are so determined that Legacy include a tab

you wish to expand on the information, why not just enter your notes in the

One caveat to intellishare merging...read on.
A record deleted in one copy of the database must be deleted in all the other

If you mean the set-up file from C:\Legacy (assuming you installed using the

You need to download the full set-up file and save it to somewhere convenient
and then copy it to your lap-top (say, to your Desk-top) and then double click
to install. You can then

You need to check the sentence structure for any event - look in a

I don't think you can actually make those larger, but you can adjust the
other font sizes under Options/Zoom on the Name List screen. Look at it
this way - there's only six of them so you might be able to memorize them.
