Bless you heart, Ron! You really saved the day! :-D The part in brackets, below, is exactly what I did, and now I have my entire family file in one Legacy Tree. I cannot thank you enough! I think I mainly let myself get too tired to be thinking clearly! Now, I am going to be wise and transfer all the files to a CD. Do I just transfer the file name and multi media files or is their something extra I need to put on the disc to that anyone could use it if I sent this CD? I know that you have to put the Legacy 6.0 standard program on there. Thanks, again, Ron!
