OK, I just figured it out. Mozy does let you choose a different file location. I just created a new folder called Restored Files within the Legacy Data folder. I left the file name the same since it was in a different folder. Problem solved. Copied and pasted the notes with no problem. Thanks, JL! Proof of why we need to backup. Wish I could figure out what caused the notes to disappear.

If so that would work. If not, rename your present file and move it temporarily while you make the changes from the restored one. Just minor musical chairs. ----- JL JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog Jennifer Trahan wrote: > I have a very strange problem.
