800973 2009-08-14 03:44:00 I am using the Standard Legacy6 program.
I have just downloaded Legacy7 but am not sure how to transfer info from Legacy6 without any loss etc. Can anyone help please.?

800974 2009-08-14 04:33:00 Not familiar with Legacy I use TMG but you should have an <import> option somwhere.

Failing that post your query on the appropriate thread here www.rootschat.com

AlanThanks for that. There are a few on this forum using this program that is why I posted my query on here.

800976 2009-08-14 08:36:00 SWMBO uses Legacy. Unfortunately she not home for a few hours but I'll let her know you're seeking help Myth (110)
800977 2009-08-14 08:59:00 I too have Legacy, though haven't explored its huge range of recording options.
And mine is still 6.
But there is a Legacy Users Group (Google for it) which is similar to this forum, so your questions can be answered from all around the world - probably more relevant than the rootschat one above?
It's a join-to-post like this one - also free.

The following page from the website you downloaded from may be more immediate help. Check out the FAQs.

Edit: Scroll down the page & all is revealed...

P,S. I guess this should really be in Chat.
Mods?

I wondered if I should have put this in chat.

800979 2009-08-14 10:03:00 In Legacy 7, click "open family file..." (under "File" on the menu bar) - and open the data file from the earlier version of Legacy.

The file has a .fdb extension.

The file has a .fdb extension.Many thanks. I presume there are no pitfalls to watch for?. Will I still be able to view info in Legacy 6 if necessary?.

It depends whether files saved in version 7 has extra "features" not viewable in version 6.

So long as you keep back-ups of the original files, you can't go wrong by experimenting.
