More of my comments inserted in Cathy's email below but also new questions from me...
Elizabeth ========================================= What you need to do in Legacy is Restore your latest zip. Make sure you control where the file is restored to and give it a new name without all those [1]'s. *[I have just restored my .zip file - and renamed it - and put it in the C:/Legacy/Data folder........and the .fdb file is also showing up in that folder......is that the way it should be, or should the .zip file and .fdb file be in different folders?? I don't think I had a choice to put each one in a different folder when doing the restore.]* Then continue backing up as you are doing (though you may want to choose a different folder or drive) AND make sure you open the fdb file from where you saved it. *[I created a new folder in C drive - C:/LegacyBackups/ and put the backup in there. Is that the correct thing to do?* *"Where" is the correct place for the .fdb file that I should be using when I open Legacy?]* To be absolutely sure you open the right file, set your option at Options > Customize (1.2 in Legacy 8 - on the general tab in Legacy 7) to open this file. Make sure you browse to the file in an ordinary folder - NOT a "zip folder". The problem is that Windows shows you the contents of zips as if they are a folder and you can open things from within them. *[I do understand what I have been doing wrong and how it happened. Now all I want to do is make sure that I am understanding the correct way to do it. It happened mainly because I did not know about .zip files, and because I'm usually in a hurry and didn't pay any attention to the 'IE5' destination.]* *[One more thing.......should I delete all those files with all the '[1]s' added to them......after I have restored all my family files?]* Elizabeth 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).
