Terry and Patt, Quite right....TMG 4.0 loaded on the XP machine and I have the sample project open. Quite a different default view than TMG of today. Thank you. Andreas, So, contract me on my direct email and we can work out how to transfer the files and I will have a go at importing to TMG.

My one concern would be to find a drive that will read those disks. If you have that you should be fine. I think only one disk is needed to install. I think the other was some sort of other resource that used to be bundled with TMG. You do not need to remove TMG 7. That sounds like the TMG4 serial number, but I think TMG4 had a 30-day trial, so you may not need it for a one-shot use. Terry Reigel
