Thanks Jenny, another question? Because it is saved in a zip file, do I unzip it first? or do I just use my fdb file?
I'm really confused about saving files so I can use them and get more confused when I go to the Legacy Tip site. I've never been able to get a really simple answer from either technical support, the tip site or the Legacy program help. Obviously, I can't read and am a true dunce. I have no problems using the program, just saving it.

You can either make a COPY of your family file and move that over, or you can BACKUP your family file and restore it on the laptop. If you have been used Legacy 8 on your desktop pc you will presumably know where to save the files. What have you used to get other files from one machine to the other? - a pen drive, portable hard drive, bluetooth or what? I'd recommend you make a backup in the usual way, but backup to your external device. Then plug the device into your laptop and restore the backup. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
