Joseph, It just sat there with the win 7 circle revolving and doing nothing. I cancelled, tried another 2 fdb files with the same result. I rebooted the machine and it all worked fine. I am not in the habit of leaving my machine on but must have done something before opening Legacy that caused this behaviour. I can't repeat the problem.

Does C/R just hang, or do you get an error, or do you mean it takes longer than expected?
