As I fllled floppy #1, the program stated it was successful and to insert disc 2, then disc 3. When I returned home from a vacation and a virus had hit my computer and I needed to use the discs to reenter my data into the program in a new computer, the discs were unusable. The first one entered just fine and told me to insert disc #2 - but when I did, the message said it could not do that, etc. It would not even allow me to retain the information from disc #1. The discs were sent to professionals, even to FTM, to no avail. So, moral of the story is if you have more than one floppy, use another method. However, "they" may have whatever problem I encountered solved by this time. Of course, since that time, I have reentered the information into the latest program and hopefully have the information successfully backed up several different ways. Lynne in Texas
