Oh don't let me talk you out of it........................the program may have been fixed over the years so that it does not do this any more. This happened to me way back with Ver. 7.0 or the one before that! I am just saying be careful is all................................... Maybe keep your seperate ones by doing a back up of those and then give the combination thing a try who knows perhaps it works just fine now................................................. All that I know is that "This is what happened to me and a few others way back when" This was when BRODERBUND owned FTW and NOT Ancestry! Most folks on this list don't believe me when I say all of Rootsweb use to be called Genweb only and be housed at the Library of Virginia with Peter either...............................but that too is fact! EVERYONE ON THIS LIST has to decide for themselves the best programs to use, and the best way for them to use that program. I just wanted folks to have an the chance to hear what has HAPPENED in the past so that you are aware of what can go wrong is all! If everyone just remembers this one rule........................................... BACK UP everything.................You'll be alright Gail ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tracey K" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2005 1:54 PM Subject: Re: [GAWARE] Genealogy Question > Whew!
