Kathy, (1) To get your Master Sources to reappear in Legacy on tyour netbook click on View on the menu bar and select Master Lists > Source. Next remove the check marks from any of the boxes in the 'Show Only' area below the Help button on the right side of the screen. Once you do this, all of your sources will display. (2) Backing up and restoring is an excellent way of moving your family file to your netbook. Just backup in Legacy on the first PC and restore the family file in Legacy on the netbook. It makes a perfect copy -- nothing lost! Make sure to install Legacy on the second PC before you begin.

I've a feeling that I've had this problem before but unfortunately don't remember the answer.... I have Legacy running on both a home computer and on a netbook. I just backed the file up from the main computer and copied the zip file to the netbook. I can get the file to open but notice that for some reason the master source records are nearly all missing from the database on the netbook. Should I have used Export rather than using a zip file? How best can I get both computers with the same version of the database so that when I am away from home I can do input on the netbook - then update the main computer? I store images in the pictures subdirectory under Legacy and know that I need to copy newly added info to the other computer's comparable directory. I do the back up for media files but find it rather labour intensive to transfer things from there because my Pictures are further sub directoried by family name. Any ideas on how I can get the sources back so that I don't have to re-enter them on the netbook would be appreciated. With ~5500 individuals I probably have 700 sources -- many of them used repeatedly. Thanks in advance Kathy Wallace, Ottawa, Canada Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ 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/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
