Thanks for your help John. I know most of that but it gives reassurance. Most of my tree is also viewable online via Wikitree if I need to do a lookup.

If you have an Android tablet, you could put some reports (files) from BK on the tablet to view, but not change. In Brother's Keeper for Windows you can send many reports to a disk file. In the Descendant Report, Group Sheets, and Custom Lists, set up the report and then pick File, Create TXT file. In the Register Book, Indented Book, and Ahnentafel Book, set up the report and pick File, Create RTF file. Then load the RTF file into Word or Word Perfect. You can make HTML files from Group Sheet, Ancestor Chart, Descendant Box Chart by picking File, Create HTML files. For the Tree charts and Box charts, or ANY report you can send those to a file if you have a PDF driver like the free one from www.pdf995.com and set that up as a printer driver, then in BK pick File, Printer Setup, and pick the PDF driver and then when you click Print, it will make a PDF file.

I find myself car-bound for lengthy periods and even a laptop is too cumbersome to be practical. I want to be able to login to, for example, newspaper apps, which are only Android or Apple. But I would also love it if I could tap into (and edit?) BK. Or other Windows apps? My Windows use would not be resource heavy - BK, Word, Outlook. I am looking for others' experiences in using either a Windows tablet that can use Android apps or vice versa. (In my Windows PCs, BK's files sit under Dropbox.) While writing, I have 7.4 CD on order, updating from 7.3.1. When installing, given that the program Brother's Keeper is in the C drive but the files are under Users\Me\Dropbox\Brother's Keeper 7\Data\(databases), will I need any special installation procedure?
