Hi Russ,

To do that, I would have to take the old computer apart and take out the 
hard drive, then take the new computer apart and install the old 
computer's hard drive in the new computer. Or, alternatively hook it up 
in some kind of USB enclosure or something. That wouldn't help because 
the version that I'm trying to put on the new computer is the version 
that is running on the hard drive in the old computer right now. What I 
want to do is install the same version on the new computer as on the old 
computer and then uninstall it from the old computer leaving the new 
computer only with a working copy of Front Page.

Confusing...I just love MicroSoft and their paranoid efforts to make 
sure no one ever copies a piece of the software that the individual 
payed for...grrrrrrrr

Thanks....

Loy
