The config data will be available if they need it/can use it. Thanks for the tip about making sure Calibre is NOT running when working with these files.

Thanks again.
If she has a Library, she wont need YOUR settings. The Library has its configuration (columns).
She can either just Run the Library from the external drive (Once Create/Switch has been done, the Library is on the Quick Switch List)
REName the Library folder on her copy, that will be the Library name used when it get added. Less confusion
Or
She can Merge that one with hers;
Simply select all (desired) books: (right-click) Copy to Library: <hers>(and delete is an option)
