Ron, Thank you for your interest in these two things that come and go. I have been backing up to a flash drive then restoring it on a Acer laptop running Vista. I will take your advice and back up on the Dell running Vista also.
At Options>Customise>General I have it set to Open last used family automatically. Sometimes Legacy does and sometimes it open to RIN #1. On another subject after reading your submissions about OpenOffice I started using it yesterday. I needed to prepare minutes for a corporation's annual shareholder's and annual director's meeting, also the waiver and such. OpenOffice is quite a bit different from Office 2000 that I have been using. I find OpenOffice, so far, very easy to figure out. Thanks for mentioning it as I will be using it in connection with Legacy. Best regards, Ann ----- Original Message ----- From: "ronald ferguson" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2009 5:04 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Error 91 revisited Ann, I doubt if there is much chance of you losing 30 years work as long as you take the advice to back up on your PC and elsewhere. Regarding your start up problem. Have you in Options>Customise>General set the start up family to whichever is your preference? Note this can revert to default on resets and reinstallation. I have now got into the habit of checking all my settings even after an update.
