Yes, you can and that (IMHO) is a good thing to do. When you first open a file in Legacy 8 it converts the file format, so I found it easiest to create a new file that will be the one to be converted. There are many ways to do this, but here’s what I did.
Let’s say you currently have a file called Simoneau.fdb 1. I would open that file in 7.5 2. Then do File ---à Save Family File As V8Simoneau.fdb 3. You will now have two files, both in 7.5 format. 4. When you first open your file in 8.0, select the one called V8Simoneau and it will convert that to the new file format. You can continue to use Simoneau in 7.5, and you can use V8Simoneau when working in Legacy 8.0 until you decide that all is OK and you fully convert to using 8.0.
