Hi Ron,
Thanks for your input. I reviewed the process again
and followed the directions (which I've typed out
and posted next to both computers!) from you and
Mike; worked out fine.
Thanks again,

Hi Ron
It is not advisable to have your live file in Dropbox or Google Drive or any of
the other cloud based storage systems. What you can do reliably is to place
the zipped backup files in the cloud drive and then restore the file as needed
on another computer from the cloud storage. Using the live
there working/live files on Dropbox, I hope they
keep a very up to date copy on their own computer.

One other question please: on the toolbar,

with Legacy, Win XP, or Win8.1.
I use Dropbox. It can take some time for the files to sync from Dropbox to
the laptop - depending on the size of your file, connections speed, it could be

Hi Lavern,
Your problem may be that you are not giving it enough time to sync. I
hope you have your XP computer well protected since you are using it online.
However, I'm not clear about your process.
Bob thinks you have your working file only in the Dropbox and that may
be so.
But you said: I
