Thank you Wendy ... I do realize the difference between the two versions is only an unlocking serial number. It is good to know that data loss would not occur if the standard version was used on top of the deluxe version data.

Hi Laura, This is my understanding of the situation... No data will be lost, you just won't be able to access the Deluxe features (and therefore the data stored in those areas) while using the Standard edition. When you take it back to the computer that has Deluxe, it will all be accessible again. The two editions are the same program, and therefore the same database structure. With the Standard (free) edition, some data fields are locked away, hidden from view. With Deluxe, those fields are unlocked and you can access them. Hope this helps. :-) Kind Regards, Wendy Howard Kaiwaka, Northland, New Zealand http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wendyh65/ lgvelez said the following on 27/12/2006 7:58 a.m.: > What happens to a data file created in Legacy 6 Deluxe, and then pulled into > Legacy 6 Standard and work done and then backed up ... what happens to the > items that were in Deluxe mode when they travel to Standard mode and then > moved back into Deluxe mode?
