Glen, the upgrade is $29.95 from http://www.heritagecollector.com.

Diane – currently, Heritage Collector only imports the pictures from Legacy. There isn’t the back & forth linkage. However, I do know the developers of both software programs have been discussing this possibility.

Geoff,
I was about to purchase the Heritage Collector and then I read the comment from Steven, posted just yesterday, stating that he didn’t think the program actually integrated with Legacy as a back & forth type of program.
Is he correct? I am very interested in the program, but hate to find out I’ve wasted my money on a program that’s really no different than Adobe Photoshop, Corel or other programs I already have.
Thanks,
Diane

People really ought to be made aware that whilst Heritage Collector superficially integrates into Legacy, in that it can import Legacy information as a single once off operation, it does not push information back into the Legacy database. Personally I don’t really consider this to be integration at all. This misunderstanding lead to considerable disappointment when I acquired a copy of Heritage Collector under the mistaken belief that it would tightly integrate into Legacy.

I currently have Hertiage Collector Pro 4.5. Can I upgrade it to version 5.1; and if so at what cost? There doesn’t seem to be any information on this on their website.

Yes, it does work with Vista.

One question I have about Heritage Collector is will it run under Windows Vista? Cannot find any information on website as to the operating systems it is compatiable with, although I gather from the information that it will run under XP. However I am using Vista.

Margo – yes, they are related in that Heritage Collector is one of Legacy’s add-ons, meaning, it will import your Legacy multimedia.

Is Heritage Collector the same program that was featured at the Mesa Family History Expo? I didn’t know that your companies were connected.
