Thanks Jenny, that worked very well. The Event Notes did not display, however, by default they are turned off. Therefore, I went to Report Options > Include Tab > Event Options > Other Options and checked Add Event Notes, and VOILA all of the Event Notes appeared. Thanks again.

One of the options which will be offered is to make a copy of that file in the new default location and convert it to the Legacy 8 format. This is the best option as you will lose nothing and will still have your original 7.5 file which you can continue to use in 7.5 if you wish. -- 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).
