Thanks John. I don't remember to copy CD files to my computer before trying to open them because I do it so infrequently. In a nut shell, I've followed your instructions but, still, no luck.
After I copied the files to my hard drive, I checked to ensure Lill Ann's read only attribute was not checked. Her file attributes for archiving and indexed contents are checked. The message I get is "Error opening db. Unrecognizable db format. "C:\Users\Evon\Legacy\LillAnn 08 2002.fdb". Lill Ann's file is 90,820KB. I'm thinking it is corrupt. Is there anything I can do about that, if that's the problem? Also, Lill Ann sent me three other files with the extensions CB, TC and FG which I don't recognize. What software will open them, please?
