Estelle At the top of your screen would be the full name of your Legacy database -can you copy it to an email post here? (Mine is showing Legacy - [C:Users\iltho\Documents\Legacy Family Tree\Data\Thomas (2017).fdb] ) Can you also post here the locations - Customise menu - items 6.1, 6.2 ? (as you see the file location paths - copy, paste)
We can try to give the English vs French equivalents. It may be helpful in solving this puzzle. The backup files are .ZIP files, and they are named with the time and date in the part before the ".ZIP" (It would help a lot if it were permitted to paste screen captures here) Also, what is your version of Windows?

Nad Sent: Tuesday, 19 December 2017 2:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] File name problem Hello everybody, I seem to have a problem with Legacy 9 file names. First of all I am working my Legacy 9 in the French language, so some of the term I use may not totally reflect the actual English equivalent. Here is the problem: whenever I leave Legacy and answer yes to the offer to make a record ("enregistrer") of this genealogical file. If I opt to "enregistrer", having already opted to "make a backup..." (the box at the bottom left of this screen) the file name gets a [1] added to the name file. After a few times the number of such adding makes the file name too long for Windows to treat it. How do I keep Legacy from adding the [1] characters? Am I doing anything wrong? Any help will be very much appreciated. Yours truly, Estelle Nadeau [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
