Anne, If these are really old 7.5 files and you are using the last build of 7.5, then you will need to convert the files to the newer format. If you open Legacy 7.5 and get a message that the file is in an older format and that it needs to be updated then go ahead and update it. There were some changes made in 7.5 during its history that made it necessary to convert the family files into a different format.
