Hi Sue, Are you opening Legacy Charting from a Desktop or Start icon/tile? You can save a few steps by opening from the Report Ribbon from within Legacy and it will open with the file that is open in Legacy and the focus person from Legacy.
The theme files are in the Data folder you mention but none of the files in the LegacyCharting folder are meant to be opened by other programs. Within the Data folder are folders for each chart type which contain the themes. Des is the folder for the Descendant Chart. The error message you give has left out a folder - it should be ... LegacyCharting\Data\Des\_Default Theme See if you get the same error by opening from within Legacy. See if you get the error by choosing another chart type. Updating Legacy to the latest build might help. Check on the Legacy Home Tab in Legacy. The current build is 501. If you're still getting the error, I'd do a complete uninstall and then reinstall after downloading the latest build from the website. See http://support.legacyfamilytree.com/article/AA-00926/14/Tips-and-How-Tos/Uninstall-how-to-do-a-complete-and-totally-clean-removal-of-Legacy-8.0.html for how to do this.
