The only simpler, easier program that I know of is a pencil and paper. You have just saved you file to a location that Legacy doesn't know.

This should show you all your Legacy data files. -- Gene Young Researching Young, Harer, Cox & Sallada With Legacy Family Tree http://myyoungs.atspace.com/index.htm --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
