How can Legacy tell her the file is empty if she cannot locate or open the file? Make sure she detaches to C:\Legacy\Data. Then start Legacy and, using File|Open, navigate to C:\Legacy\Data (probably already there by default) and select and open the .fdb she just detached. It sounds like she failed to detach the file, or she detached it but is unsure of where she placed it. You will probably have to walk her thru it step by step over the phone. -- Dennis Kowallek [email protected] ****************** Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
