Gordon, you can try the "open heroic" command: Tap these keys in sequence - Escape o H (uppercase H). If it opens and is readable, save it to a new name and proceed working with it. If it fails, it's most likely that the file is corrupt. FM 7 should open files as far back as FM 5. HTH Regards, Peter Gold KnowHow ProServices
