I assume when you write LFT you mean Legacy Family Tree. 1. C:\users\syble\documents\legacy family trees\data 2. Yes you can leave your multimedia files where they are. You must change the location though in Options | Custom | Locations. 3. A file with a number on the end means a file's name has been duplicated and not overwritten. What was the name of the new database file as you fail to mention this? Is it this file? 4. By clicking on System or the 'L' icon in the top left corner of your screen will give you the list of your legacy files (fdb).
Hope this helps. On Mon, Jan 27, 2014 at 8:48 PM, Syble Glasscock <[email protected]>wrote: > I downloaded V. 8 Deluxe abt a month ago, I used the defaults locations, I > made no changes.
