I upgraded from Legacy 7.5, and preferred the kind of data file storage that v7.5 used, and so have me data in E:\Leg8Data, whereas my "My Documents" folder is at G:\SteveDoc. I did that because my C: drive was originally quite small, and though I replaced it by a bigger drive, I kept that arrangement. I don't have OneDrive, but I do have a GoogleDrive on my laptop, which does not seem to be accessible by a drive letter path, so have not used it for anything important. I once tried to copy my Legacy data files there as a kind of backup, and found they had been deleted from their original location, so I moved them back pretty quicky, and have not used the GoogleDrive for anything since. Is OneDrive like that? Is it accessible by a drive letter path or not? -- Steve Hayes E-mail: sha...@dunelm.org.uk Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Fax: 086-548-2525 -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list LegacyUserGroup@legacyusers.com To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/
