Bert, sorry for not getting back right away. We are getting ready to go on a long vacation and I have been really busy. I tried what you suggested and it worked well to turn the icon to a wheel. When I actually tried to back it up nothing happened. So i troubleshot it and sure enough I did not have an encryptred file in AC. So i checked the box that said save a copy in my AC. the I did the back up again and now I had an enc. file. But the icon still does not do a back up for me. HELppppppp!
