Maureen, My *guess* is that you have the focus on the wrong file. Make sure that the file you wish to transfer from is already in focus before clicking on the name. In other words the title bar of the file you wish to transfer from is "lit up" before you click the name.

What is great is that I can open two files at once and split the screen. Now, here is my problem. A cousin sent me here database which I've entered with a different file name. I open mine and open her's. I look at her information and sometimes I want to copy and then paste into my database. Every time I do this I get the little alert sound with the comment that I can't copy into the same file. Please tell, what am I doing wrong. thanks, Maureen Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
