Thanks Jim - I've got it. As soon as I read your reply about grayed out because only 1 data set I realised that I was trying to do this in the new project with only 1 entry instead of in my project. A good sleep and a fresh head, along with your reply solved it perfectly. I am once again a happy little? camper. Now I'm off to back up this version to the laptop. Regards Merle

In July last year I upgraded from 6 US to 7 UK. I had problems getting the UK customizations into the US project but with your help I got this going OK. That was on my laptop. After returning from holidays (I took the laptop but didn't add any extra info to TMG) I went back to using TMG on my desktop. Now I have just realised that I have the US settings on the desktop and as I have added too much info and people I would lose all this if I restored from the laptop. I tried to do the same as I did before following the instructions to a T but while the File/Merge works for the project, the File/Data Set Manager Merge doesn't. The Merge command for this is greyed out. What am I doing wrong? I get so cross with myself when I do stupid things like this but hope for some help please. I'm blaming it on a senior moment and the hot humid weather we are suffereing at present. Regards Merle

Many thanks I will try this now.

I recently upgraded to version 7 UK gold. My prevsion was version 5 US. My problem is that when I restored the files into 7 the only tags, etc I get are the US ones. Preferences is only showing the US option. HOw do I change this to get the UK options. Having not done any genealogy for a couple of years I am now trying to catch up but this problem is frustrating me no end. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I was glad to read the XP to VIsta and back again question as I also have this problem. Now that one is solved.
