Select a Hello.. Is there a way to get my files cleaned out without messing stuff up? Here's the situation.... In my documents folder I have 2 TMG folders... The Master Genealogis v8 and The Master Genealogist v8a. (Way back when, when I had a computer person helping me I think they just added the v8a as a copy.) Some of my 'good' projects are are in the v8 Projects folder & some are in v8a. When I log in to TMG & go to ' Select a Project' I only get to select from those projects in v8. In order to get into projects in the v8a folder I have to be already in a v8 project & have to go to the drop-down file menu and click on the v8a project I want (although not all of the v8a projects are listed here). I have tried the 2 ways of backing up the v8a project ( thru file>backup & thru file>exit & neither way gets me a PJC file in v8. Oh, lordie.... I am so confused & this is such a mess! It would take me a week to go thru it all... I'm hoping you just know what's going on & how to 'fix' it . Bottom line i s I would like to just end up with v8 with all of the files in the right place & get rid of v8 folder etc entirely. (btw) when I just tried moving the v8a PJC file ot v8 it produced an error so I jus moved it back. Thanks for being there!! Gayle Keaney

Instead, use the functions built into TMG. If there are any Projects you want to get rid of in the TMG8 folder, use the Delete Project command on the File menu in TMG. To move the projects from the TMG8a folder, use the Copy Project command. Once you are sure you have all the Project files you want copied, you can delete the entire TMG8a folder. Terry Reigel
