Not in Office 2010. I can’t remember enough about 2003 and 2007. Which Office do you have?

He was talking about the action of the File->Open File function. By default, it asks if you want a list of Legacy Files or to use the Windows File Manager. It also has options to say always use one or the other. The problem is once you've chosen one of those Always options, you seem to be stuck with it. There's nothing under File->Open File or under Customize to change or undo the selection. I did find that Restore Legacy Defaults will reset the function of File->File Open. However, that also wipes out any other customizations. Tried getting around that by saving my customizations before resetting to Legacy defaults, but when I then restored my User Defaults, it also returned the File->File-Open action to the locked in mode. An alternative that might work is to save customizations on a section by section basis, excluding the General Settings, then do a global reset to Legacy Defaults, and then restore each section of customized settings, and manually reset the General Settings. This of course assumes that the File->File Open option setting is saved and restored with the General Settings even though there is no function to set/reset it on the General Settings list. Randy, Another workaround for you might be, with Legacy closed, to go to Windows file manager, find your .fdb file and double click it. It should open in Legacy. Thereafter, it should be on that Legacy File List that your File->Open File function is locked in to. -----Original Message----- From: Sherry/Support [ mailto:she...@legacyfamilytree.com <mailto:she...@legacyfamilytree.com> ] Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2013 10:07 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] open file Legacy8 Go to Options > Customize > General Settings to select your option for "Starting Family File" Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Wed, Nov 27, 2013 at 7:43 AM, Randy Clark <ceddaco...@gmail.com> wrote: > I mistakenly told it to always show me a list of files from which to pick. > How do I let it allow me to navigate to the file?
