David- Can we have some more clues? By taken I am making an assumption that you had a more recent backup version already on the flashdrive, but you somehow copied / moved an older backup to the flashdrive? Is that correct? Thanks. Robert At 2009-07-12 07:47 AM, you wrote: Hi,I put

From what you wrote, did you give a husband the name of Unknown. Using that, first print (or write on scrap paper) the family group sheet, Including RINs. Save/backup your file, then unlink (Mr.) 'Unknown' from wife, which should ask 'unlink from children?'. Once he is not connected to anyone,

By the update button, I mean the link in the Updates box of the Legacy Home tab. Clicking that, it told me that it couldn't install but if the problem persisted I could download the update from the website. No, I didn't delete anything. I did, however, have the program open when I opened the

It sounds like you overwrote your new database with your older one? Have you tried opening the database from each location? (Close any Legacy database you have open and double click the file from inside the folder to make sure you're looking at the right one.) I would have thought it would ask

I just updated to 7.0.0.97. Is it my failing memory or imagination? - did new fields show up in the LDS Temple data window, specifically Initiatory Date Temple? I don't recall seeing those fields before. I found the revision history but didn't locate any mention of adding new Temple data fields.
