Betty,
Emails are usually sent in one of two formats: Plain Text and HTML, the
former is as you would get when using Notebook and the latter is the style
used for web pages. At one time it was the rule that only Plain Text could
be used on LUG, but that has (unfortunately) been relaxed.

backup went there each time I closed Legacy.

I do not use dropbox but am supposing it to be a web based product. That being
the case, if you attempted to open the Legacy file from dropbox would that not
use the file using Internet temporary storage locations?

Erica,
Your problem is being caused because you are opening a .fdb file that is
in a zipped file. That .fdb file is in a compacted form that Legacy
cannot use. In order to make the file usable Windows extracts the full,
uncompacted, file into the Windows\temporary files folder and it is that

Now I have done the Uncheck and recheck procedure. I'll see what

Thanks, Dennis sounds like it's worth having a go at.

Before cancelling the task, try pressing the Escape key. There may be a message
window off-screen, and this will dispose of it.

Not really. Dropbox is fine so long as you don't try and edit what it happens to
be working with at the same time.
Store your FDB files in one place, create backups in the Dropbox folder. From my

I am not saying that there is anything wrong with expressing your opinion of
how you use the location and address fields. As has been stated many, many
times, the Legacy developers have provided a tool that is very flexible and
gives us different ways to use it. How we use it is up to each
Betty,
Sorry I've not been around today, really busy. Mike, it is thought that this
happened due a power failure, and all the evidence points to a corrupt
database.
Betty, I would now follow the path which Dennis suggested, if that doesn't
work then uninstall/reinstall Legacy and use FileRestore
I have been looking for a way to sometimes print Event Notes and other times
not print them. I don't see any settings that allow this flexibility.
The only way I see to do this is to enclose the Event Notes in privacy
brackets, then choose to either print or not print privacy brackets.

Bruce,
By sometimes... and other times do you mean in some reports print them and in
some reports not print them? (for the same events)
Or do you mean print some events and not print others in any given report?
And just to double-check: are you talking about just the Event Notes field?
Like,
Yes to your first guess on what I meant. I will always want to print the
events but sometimes I will want the notes and other times I may not want
them.
Yes to your last question.
Thanks for helping me clarify my question.

A very big thank you to all who have helped me straighten this out, especially
Dennis and Brian for his instructions on restoring my file (which I've now
done) and Mike for his comment remember that from Vista onwards, Windows
tends to create ZIP files i.e. backups, as folders.
I think this
Yes, I think you have that right. I have been doing this for some time.
Some do not like this approach as it causes problems IF you open the same
file on different computers at the same time (which I must confess I have
done). That is my only problem with this approach.

Thanks Mary. If you or anyone has a website or a link that you can
