Just for follow-up and information, the .LDB file is a temporary file created with Legacy is opened and automatically deleted when Legacy is closed. Its purpose is to make sure that only one person at a time can access and modify the database. If Legacy were to crash without properly closing, the .LDB file may be left intact which could prevent you from opening Legacy again.
