Just realized one more thing. Every evening I sync my main drive to my backup drives. My new backup drive (external) was my main drive with my Legacy database. It was faster than my old drive. When I switched, I forgot to change that and synced the old files back to my new drive.
I've been around computers long enough that I should have known better! If I hadn't caught it tonight I would have done the same thing again, losing my updated database and newest backups. >________________________________ > From: Marg Strong <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Sent: Friday, April 20, 2012 9:36 PM >Subject: [LegacyUG] Cleaning up Location List - Solved > > >I found out why my combining work wasn't "sticking."
