Family Files can be easily shared between a Deluxe and a Standard Edition of Legacy as long as they're the same version/build number.
The only difference between Standard and Deluxe are the number of features and reports. The data is the same. Linking multimedia files should not be a problem. Picture Center is a Deluxe feature but Picture Gallery is available in both. If the file path is the same on both computers (which is why we suggest using the sub-folders in the c:\Legacy\ folder - i.e., docs, data, pictures, sounds, videos), then you have less of a problem than if the multimedia files were linked to while they were in the "My Documents" folder. But Legacy should be able to locate the multimedia files with no problem. When you see a "question mark" icon, just click on the icon to bring up the "Find File" window and try either letting Legacy find the file or looking for it yourself. Click on the Help button in that window for full details. Thanks for using Legacy.

Thanks guys,So I can't install a tree in Legacy free version on another computer from my backup of my deluxe version.What if I install my tree from a Gedcom and copy the media folder(not the backup)to her computer,then direct Legacy to one file in the folder,will Legacy find all the items in the folder and place them where they belong,as it does with MY deluxe version I use?Or,does anybody have a suggestion as to how I can enter my data with all media on her computer without having to link over 300 media files individually?Thank you,Brian Lehman 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
