Backup/Restore.... Paul, Many thanks for your ultra quick guidance. It's much appreciated. I'm a bit of a novice though computing wise so can I just check I have understood you completly? Currently I back up to my C Drive and then burn a copy onto DVD. Are you now suggesting that I back up to a removable disk, for example a memory stick, and then insert that stick into the Laptop and do a restore from it? If I then make updates on the laptop I would do the same in reverse to restore the Desk Top to the latest data. At any point in time therefore the latest information would be on the Memory Stick and this could still be burnt to a DVD for added security. Sorry if this is awfully basic but your confirmation would be very helpful. Best wishes Precisely...you can transfer to the laptop using a memory stick or a cd/dvd if your laptop has a reader....backup on the desktop and restore on the laptop...if you do any updating on the laptop reverse the procedure...backup on the laptop (to a memory stick) and restore on the desktop... You must have the same version of TMG on both systems....

I'm also a convert from UFT years ago...what I did was make the sentences for both roles the same so they all print the same...I think I used the UFT sentence...that way I didn't have to search and change all of the tags that had a different role...I then made the Child role the default role so that all new adds used Child... Did similar for death and burial tags....
