I think I get it now Thanks a lot In my "Genealogy" folder, I have some 50 or 60 files with the "Primary name" and multiple extensions They must be files stretching back for years from the 4 or 5 previous versions of Bruce's programs that I have used I will now sort them by date, and move all the old ones into another temporary folder And see if RM6 still works (which it should) (I had not realized that RM4 replaced all those separate files with a single .rmgc file) Thanks again for all the help And the RM app seems to work fine Frost Prioleau On Tue, Dec 18, 2012 at 4:59 AM, Tom Holden <ve3meo@gmail.com> wrote: > Those other files having the same primary name but different extensions > are from RootsMagic 3 or earlier.
