And if you restore the v.6 backup you'll lose all the work you've done
since you installed v.7.

Ruth,
If you're deviating from the script, I am going to close my eyes and
pretend I never met you. You can't restore your backup files from v.6
into your installation of v.7. You still have to install v.6.

I think I've got it worked out. I've backed up my files in 2 places.
I think I've got a backup of my files from Ver. 6 if I installed Ver.
7 in June. I should be able to do a Restore from my external backup
drive so I don't have to do a gedcom. You have no idea how scared I
am, though.

On second thoughts, Ruth, you're making me nervous. If I followed
my own instructions and got lost, I could dig myself out. You I'm
not so sure about. Sherry offered instructions for going back to
v.6. Ask her for them. They probably know things about this I don't.

If you are seriously thinking of going back to v.6 making reports
of every kind is a hard way of going about it. Make a copy of your
entire Legacy7 folder on another drive, even if it's just a
flash-drive. Make two backups if you have somewhere to put them.
Just right click on the Legacy folder and click Send To and pick a
place. Boom, done.
Now, some-one just wrote to say that you can't have both versions
unless you install them chronologically. ie. v.6, then v.7.
Otherwise you risk overwriting dll's with earlier versions. Could
be true. Who knows? So, first uninstall v.7, then install v.6 and
then install v.7 back if you want to. If you're only going to
install v.6 and don't care about v.7 right now I would say just
install v.6. If it 'breaks' v.7 you don't care, right? It's
already broken. But it might get fixed someday.
This would be /*after */you copy your Legacy7 folder somewheres and
after you export a gedcom of it. That way, you can still reinstall
v.7 if you have to and overwrite the directory with your backup
folder and be right back where you were.
Good question: who the heck is Harold?

This gets stranger and stranger. Preparing to move from Ver.7 to
Ver. 6 (have you ever heard of such a dumb thing, going
backwards?) I am printing every report I can think of just in case
I lose my data files. I created an Event Report in .pdf. Some of
my Events say Harold's Marriage Notes, etc. Who the heck is
Harold? It should say just Marriage Notes, and then what I typed
for that event. Don't know who's Harold but I found 90 references
to Harold before I stopped counting.
