This the correct way. There are two basic methods -- a default installation (that most people use) and a custom method (see TMG Help=>Data File Storage). Either way, this is the first step. >Then copy all the files in your TMG directory to your new computer. I would _strongly_ caution that this is _not_ the recommended method. There are often subtle differences in computer installations (mostly to do with the installation method above and with the version of Windows used). If you simply copy folders from the old computer to the new computer, you may be overwriting a file that has different setting because of the new installation. Also, don;t forget that there are three TMG folders -- Shared Programs Data folder, User Program Data folder, and the User Data folder. These are in three widely different locations. See TMG Help=>Access Folders for the actual locations. There may be some files from the old computer that are not by default installed on the new computer. These can be copied over to the corresponding folder on the new computer. This might be user-created Accents, Layouts, Report Definitions, etc. These can be copied, but many others should not be copied to overwrite the files installed by default. The next step should be copying over the Backup (.SQZ) files from your old computer to the new one. Finally, Restore those Backups on the new computer. Lee
