You can get it at: http://www.voidtools.com/ It is totally free and I have been using it for quite a long time with NO problems. When installed and run you can just enter *.fdb and it will list ALL the Legacy family files on your hard drive. You can just double click the one you want to open, right click and select open path, copy path whatever you wish to do. You can search for any file extension, file name or partial with wild cards. It has found a lot of "missing" files for me.
