One of the great features of GenViewer is the ability to search an entire hard disk for all the various genealogy files and then allow you to open any of them without converting them to some other format. It can open GEDCOM files directly as well as Legacy FDB files. If your main Legacy database is not in the default folder (C:\Legacy\Data) then the program should help you to locate it. Ron Taylor

Have you tried going to File>Open and when the selection box opens check that the top box is looking in the correct folder for your .fdb files and then selecting it?

Trouble is, when I open GenViewer and try to navigate to my main data set, the only thing that shows up as an option is "sample". I am in : C > Legacy>Data What am I doing wrong? "All file" is enabled. Jane S.
