Hi Sherry, et al: I'm a fairly happy user of V.7.0.0.86 and am about to replace my old laptop. The Desktop will remain my primary computer with backups to a "D" drive and a memory stick. The laptop is wireless-connected and will be used as another backup and for field work and teaching. Both use XP Pro.
Two questions - I find the LUG full of suggestions to the point of confusion. Maybe you have a summary sheet. The On-line Help Install To A Different Location refers to Legacy5Setup.exe - are these instructions applicable to Ver. 7? 1. Should I load the original Legacy 7.0 program from my disk and then up-date it from the 'net, copy and then load the current program and data files using a memory stick, or do a full backup and restore? Should I hold off a week or two for a new up-date or go with it as is? It's been a while since version .86 came out and we still have expectations. 2. How do you suggest we name and organize the data files. I want the desktop and laptop to be identical for clean backups. A few years ago I started a small genealogy group in my community and have ended up tutoring Legacy some. One of the most difficult parts for new users is entering the data in a way that will give them the results they would like. I may have some suggestions I'd be glad to discuss off-line. Thanks, Hugh
