In order to confirm if this is where you are saving them you can do the following, with legacy open go to the top left corner of the page and click Filebackup family fileon the popup screen click on select name and location for data backup, at the top of the next popup screen you will see that it is saved in, with a window that will porbably say Data in it, on the right side of this window is a down arrow, click on the arrow and you should be able to see the path for your backups. You can also check where the path of your multimedia files are located while your in this screen. Leo From: hog...@hotmail.com To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] family file location problem Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2010 15:19:36 -0500 I am having difficulty with locating my family files that have been saved.

Re: [LegacyUG] family file location problem
First, as soon as you opened a file by inputting any data, you created un unnamed file. When you left the program, you were asked to name this file. If you entered any valid name, when you open Legacy next time, that file name is found under the drop down menu File (includes up to last four). Legacy saves all data, if you have, while keypunching, said yes to 'save?'. You may need to, after opening and checking each file, merge them together.
