John, Neither. I have my Legacy database on a flash drive. This way I can take my data to ANY computer with Legacy installed on it. I also keep my images (in small .jpg format) on my memory drive. All my images go with me. This way I am not limited to home with my database. Before

Neither. Too much data corruption. After some exceedingly ugly experiences with Intellishare, I have stopped collaborating entirely. It's not worth it. (I'll explain below.) After some consistently unfortunate experiences with the master database residing on the flash drive, I have stopped that

Glen, Thank you! That's good to know, and I have no doubt you're correct. I run Legacy on an IBM Thinkpad with Windows XP, all software installed at IBM (I work at IBM). Of course that does NOT preclude there being a driver conflict! I would guess that if it happened once (to me), it's possible
