Dottie, For other reasons, I have recently been creating GEDCOMs in V8.0, and Exporting them into a new file in Legacy V8.0. Subsequently I have created a GEDCOM from this file and imported this into a new file. I used GEDCOM5.5.1 only, with the ANSI coding for both exports. I had no problems and the Index is present.
Others have been doing similar. It may have nothing to do with your problem, but what was your export created for i.e. Legacy, GEDCOM 5.5.1 only, PAF etc.?

I then inputted data as I normally would adding sources when needed. Then I did the reverse. I thought it would be so simple Dottie Sent from my iPhone On Dec 4, 2013, at 2:58 PM, Paul Gray <graypa...@outlook.com> wrote: Hi Dorothy, Can you give us some information about what happened on the laptop? Did you import the GED into Legacy or some other program? How did you update data on the laptop? Paul Gray From: Dorothy Klein [mailto:scubam...@aol.com] Sent: December-04-13 11:41 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7.5 GEDcom import issues Dear Group For a recent research trip I exported a GED Legacy file from my main computer to a laptop. On my return I imported onto the main computer the updated GED Legacy file. At first no one appeared in the Index view, but then I saved the file (backing it up) and when I reoped it i was able to use the Index view. Unfortunately none of the media files linked back onto the main computer. According to the error report they are all missing. How can I rectify this? Also in another error report of missing/erroneous data it says F1499 family has the wrong date format. I can I find family 1499. I know how to find individuals but not family numbers.
