I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who can't find a Settings folder. I backed up all the zip files and everything in the Legacy folder, just to be on the safe side. I backed them up to CD, and I also back them up off site daily. Until this past weekend, I didn't have a working CD burner and had to find somewhere to back up my files. Now I'm doubly backed up and not nearly so nervous anymore. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions, your help is much appreciated!

Ron, I think you must have set this up yourself somehow. I don't have such a folder and all the report settings etc are in the data folder.
