LUG group, There seems to be some mis-interpretation of my original posting. Please let me try again with the addendum in caps:
I have successfully run Legacy from a U3 Sandisk Cruiser 4GB flash drive. The U3 software MUST be installed on a computer so that you can access your flash drive. On your flash drive, create a folder named Legacy. Copy all of your Legacy files (data, pictures, sounds, video, et cetera) from your computer to the newly-created Legacy folder on the flash drive. OPEN LEGACY FROM THE HOST COMPUTER (NOT THE USB FLASH DRIVE) and browse to the location of your database on the flash drive to open it. (Note that Legacy MUST be installed on the computer you are using with your flash drive. You can copy the Legacy setup file to your flash drive so that you can install Legacy on other computers.) When I get home, I then use other 3-party software to sync the Legacy database on the flash drive with the primary Legacy database on my computer. That way both databases are current. I have been using this method for over a year using various computers. Using this method is NOT the same as using portable software on a USB flash drive, however, it does provide a means of taking your genealogy database to another computer to work on. Sorry for the confusion.
