Richard, I realised shortly after I had replied that that was probably the reason for you wishing to roll back. It is something which, like you, I would be loathe to do, especially since it means going the Gedcom route. I'm afraid that I have always had doubts about the abililty of Gedcoms to accurately transfer all the data - but no real proof. On my laptop I have another, lightweight, genealogy program onto which I transfer my data using a Gedcom, whenever I am going away, and I know that the transfer is incomplete, especially with respect to sources. OK, this is probably due to the other program, and Legacy to Legacy will be much more accurate, but.......??????
