If you opened it from within Legacy 7.5 there is no way that it would ask you to convert it to Version 8, however it may as you to convert it to the current version 7.5 if the file was created in an earlier version of the sw. Which is what mine just did and converted it to the format of the current vs of 7.5. Are you sure you tried to open it from 7.5 and not ver 8?

If you have v8 installed then windows has set that program as the default program to open your genealogy files when you double click them from windows explorer. -----Original Message----- From: singhals Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2014 11:26 AM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Converting to v8 I tried to open a v 7.5 database *IN* v7.5, and couldn't. Why not? I've got v7.5 installed where *I* wanted to put it, and v8 installed where *it* wanted to go. Until yesterday, I could still open v7.5 and use it. Yesterday, I opened it, found the database I wanted and double-clicked. My options were Abort, copy and convert to 8, just convert to 8. I chose abort. NOT a merry man NOR a happy camper about that.
