Re: [LegacyUG] Saving Problems
For the future, this is not the forum for this type of question. Outlook accounts have nothing to do with Legacy Family Tree. Is there a forgot password, forgot user name or other link on the page where you are trying to log in to your outlook account? If so try that. If not is there a "contact us" link, that might get you a way to contact outlook support.

If you are using your thumb drive for your working file is that the file that Legacy is opening/using? If you are opening your file from your thumb drive it is likely that the file is being saved there too so, of course, the file on C: drive would not be updated. Legacy automatically saves the data as it is being entered (posted) (actually, when you leave the edit screen). And it saves it to the file that you have designated which, I assume, is C:/ Documents/Legacy Family Tree/Data/filename.fdb You can check that by looking to the very top of your open family tree file. When you add/change any information in your tree it is saved each time as you leave the edit screen. I do not understand when you say that ‘these changes are not uniformly saving to the C: drive’. It comes back to which file are you opening and working from – the one on your thumb drive or the one on C: drive. I don’t think it is good practice to try to work from your backup devices, that is, your thumb drive and/or your WD storage drive – use those for backup. I back up my file to a thumb drive, a separate internal drive, the cloud and an external WD storage drive but my work is always done on my main drive in my computer.

There is no need to compress the files, however that happens if you have Legacy backup your file when you exit. Legacy does that to keep your working copy and your backup copies separate.
