Thanks, Michele. You're right - my C drive was not selected. Now all gedcoms are showing. (I tend to use the word gedcom as a generic term and what I really meant was fdb file.) But, now that all my fdb files are showing I see I just need to click File, Open File to get to the fdb I need. But I am having a new problem. I selected "Add an individual and descendants" in my Focus Group and no spouses are showing in the file that resulted. In the Focus Group list, the words "and **All Spouses**" are showing at the end of the file name. I presumed this meant that was default (to show spouses) but they are not showing. Also, my entire line on my dad's side (all direct ancestors including spouses) is showing in the file, although my ancestor that I have chosen to generate this file is on my mom's side. Why are both these things happening? I only want to see my maternal ancestor, his wives and children and all his descendants and their spouses.
Finally, if I don’t know the genealogy software of the person I am sending the gedcom to, should I choose "Basic"?

At the bottom there is a button to tell Legacy which drives to search. This might have gotten changed to something other than the C: drive (assuming that is where your files are). Also, you said, “I want to be able to easily switch back and forth between gedcoms.” Gedcoms have to be converted to Legacy data files before you can open them and switch back and forth between them.

I don’t know what the file search page is. I clicked on New File instead and found it listed and opened it. I want to be able to easily switch back and forth between gedcoms. Why does Legacy say no Legacy Family Files can be found on my computer system when click Refresh List? Why can’t Legacy find the new file even though I was able to open it?
