Roger, I appreciate your posting. I did neglect to mention that U3 software was NOT necessary to have on a flash drive. I was merely pointing out that *IF* U3 software is used, then it MUST be installed on the host computer. U3 is not the only encryption software that is used on flash drives, however, that is what was pre-installed on the flash drive that I purchased. This is typical of the Sandisk brand of flash drive. That is the reason that I even mentioned the brand name of the flash drive in the first place. The reason that I use U3 software is that I have other sensitive data on my flash drive that needs protection. Everyone's need varies.... I *assumed* that everyone (or at least the majority) of LUG subscribers would understand this. My blunder....
My original intent was to suggest to all that it WAS possible to easily take your Legacy database with you to use on another computer via a flash drive. I really did not imagine that anyone would require technical support from my posting. I was just relaying a tried-and-true method that works for me. You are under no obligation to use it. Please refer to my posting to Glen Ballard. My best to you, Mark _________________________________ Roger Lewis wrote: Your choice of terminology has led to some confusion. >From what you describe, it appears you have not 'run' Legacy from a flash drive. Data, pictures, sounds, video, et cetera files do not 'run'. Legacy.exe 'runs', permitting you to access data etc residing on a flash drive (or a floppy or a CD or a DVD or a mini hard drive etc) Further, I think I can safely say that, of all the people in the LUG who simply access data residing on a flash drive, you are the only one who has found it necessary to have U3 software installed on the flash drive.
