Sherry,
I went to Tips/Moving Legacy Family Files between Computers
as you suggested. Unless I am mistaken, the .usr files are NOT
included/transferred when I perform the steps enumerated in
Tips/Moving Legacy Family Files between Computers. At least, I could
not find "usr" when I looked at the seven files in the zipped file.
If I am correct, what other files do we have to move so that
the two computers are identical in terms of Legacy?
Thank you,
Arnold
P.S. I am having a tough time with this post as it is being rejected,
"Subject: You do not have permission to post to the." Have been a
member for years. So sorry if this post is out of date whenever I get
things to work again.
