<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Oh yes, I learned that last summer when my ME program
started going bad.......thought I was transferring all the good stuff, but it
didn't really burn, just said it was doing it's job.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>When I got my first computer the discussion went something
like this.........Hubby said, "Honey, it will be good for your mind"......there
are times I wonder if it isn't messing the mind up big time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Again I thank everyone for all their good information and
tips. I had never thought of putting the hard drive into the new
computer....however, grandson is going to get it, and start some college classes
via internet. </FONT></DIV>

<BR>> Ho, ho, ho ... !<BR>> <BR>> Always a wise one in the
group :)<BR>> <BR>> just don't try to update and transfer at
the same time. Do it as two<BR>> separate things, and make a database backup
first! or two! preferably to<BR>> a CD, and then test it to make sure the
backup (and your procedure) is<BR>> good (ie, restore to a new, temporary,
database from the backup).<BR>> <BR>> Say your prayers, cross your
fingers, throw salt over your left<BR>> shoulder, and wink at a full moon
looking over your right shoulder ...<BR>> <BR>> should go smooth as
glass.<BR>> <BR>> PS: Can you just move your old hard drive to the new
computer? a New<BR>> 'puter should have room for more than one hard
drive. Maybe your<BR>> electronics dealer could help you with
this?<BR>> <BR>> Happy Holidays!<BR>> <BR>> Bill Strickland<BR>>
