I'm ashamed to asked this question, but have to. How do I merge a
Legacy file saved to my "C:" drive with an actual Legacy file? Somehow
I did not backup my file to a Legacy file under the Legacy icon. It
was backed up to my "C:" .
Then the next question is how do I back up each time to both my the
Legacy icon file and then backup to my C: so I have it in both places.
I don't understand what you mean by "under the Legacy icon." When you
create a backup file it will *usually* be saved to your C:\ drive, and
that is where your Legacy program and your current Family file is
*usually* saved. On what drive is your current Family File?
You appear to be saying you want to merge a backup file into your
current Family File? If that is so, why? You don't usually need to do
anything with a backup unless something goes wrong with your current
file, in which case it is usual to revert to the backup copy, *not*
merge the backup into the current file.
When you backup your Family File you are given the option to "Select
Name and Location ...". You can back up as often as you want to as many
different locations as you want.
Ah ... it just occurs to me that you might be thinking you need to SAVE
your current file each time you exit, separately to creating a backup
copy. This is not so - the data is saved "on the fly", as you press
Save on each screen. There is purpose served by saving again when you
exit the program, only to create a backup file for use in case your
current file becomes corrupted.
