Jenny, thanks for answering me. My response is in blue, if your computer can read the color.
1. To open my file I'm referring to the "backup file". What is the the correct "Restore family file" command? I didn't know there was such a command. 2. Jenny says - When I say "backup" I am referring to a zip file created by using the "Backup family file" command, which is what I presume you are doing, as opposed to just saving your family file with different name and/or in a different place. Yes, it has a zip ending on it. Should I be saving to "saving your family file with different name and/or in a different place?

The same happen in the thumb drive. When you say "When I go to open ..." do you mean you are accessing the backup file or your "working" family file? If you are referring to the backup, are you using or are you trying to use the "Open family file" command. NB: When I say "backup" I am referring to a zip file created by using the "Backup family file" command, which is what I presume you are doing, as opposed to just saving your family file with different name and/or in a different place. -- Jenny M Benson 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
