Without knowing what you are doing, it is hard to say what you are doing wrong! How exactly are you making "a duplicate family file." If you have your "working" file open and go File>Save Family File as... and save the file with a new name (eg Merge Testing or something like that) the new Merge Testing file must be an exact duplicate of your original. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
