Or the locking file needs to be deleted manually. Probably copied over from the failed hard drive?
Make sure Legacy is not running. Using Windows / File Explorer, navigate to wherever your family database file is normally stored. Look for a file that has a .LDB extension and delete it. Problem solved.

It says it appears that this family file was opened by another user. I'm the only user. My hard drive failed a couple of months ago and I had to reinstall Legacy and the backup files on the new hard drive. It seemed the message appeared soon after that. How can I correct this because I cannot backup now because it keeps telling me that the Family File is in use.
