Elizabeth, Be aware that if you have attached any media to your family file that those images are in a different zip file that has the "family file name-media" in the zip file name. So you would have to send them that file also and they would have to Extract those files to their C: drive, as legacy stores the directory path name with the file. So if you have your images in subfolders to your main image folder then it will create those directories if they do not exist on their drive (that is why it is better not to store images that you use for Legacy in the my pictures folder that windows creates as the path to my documents and my pictures folders are unique to your user name.)
If you do not care if they have the images to the file then just send the one zip file. All of this info can be found in the help files under Sharing family file topic -----Original Message----- From: Cathy Pinner Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2014 11:23 PM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] [1][1][1]....???? Elizabeth, No question is silly if you don't know the answer. It doesn't matter where they save the zip file so long as they can navigate to it with the Legacy File > Restore dialogue. So they have to know WHERE it is but it doesn't matter where it is. They should choose a sensible place to save the restored file - like C:\Legacy\Data which is the default folder for Legacy 7.5. That it's the default folder doesn't necessarily mean saving in that folder is automatic. Remind them to look at where the file is going to be saved before clicking the Save button. Different versions of windows have slightly different layouts for this dialogue but they all include an address bar of some sort showing where the file will be saved and the means for changing this place.
