Brian, Thanks for the info.
As long as it's also in the Documents folder on your hard drive so Legacy can find the necessary files to run, it doesn't matter where your data, media and web files go. I know Office 365 does save to the cloud, but other versions of Office shouldn't. Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Wed, May 25, 2016 at 8:52 AM, Brian L.
