Jenny, There has been so much mis-information in this thread that it is probably worth restating them all: Open: is used to for opening the standard Legacy .fdb data files Import: is for GEDCOMs, no matter how they were created (and this includes a Legacy Gedcom) Restore: is for the opening the back-up files. These are the zip files.
