I use a laptop (call it machine A) to access Legacy, but my data is all stored on a desktop that I access through my local network (call it machine B). Legacy on machine A is set up so that the default location for data files and media files is set to the appropriater locations on machine B. Hence when I start Legacy it shows all my family tree files.
If Machine B is switched off for any reason (after a power cut or for any other reason) then Legacy on Machine A not only goes back to offering files on C: on machine A in the default directory for data and media files, but changes the defaults that I have set up. Hence, after I get machine B restarted, I have to open the "sample" file on my laptop and then go into "Options" and recreate my default locations and save them AGAIN. I can understand Legacy only offering the sample file on C: on my laptop if my other machine is switched off. BUT, I cannot see that it is right for my defaults to be altered without my agreeing to it. If I make changes I have to click "Save", but Legacy changes the defaults all on its own if my desktop (machine B) is switched off. Does anybody else have this problem?
