Hi Cathy and Gail, I wondered about the file name. I open Legacy using the Legacy icon in my task bar at the bottom of my Windows 10 computer. Before I tried your suggestions Cathy, my file name was
Legacy - [C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\TEMP2_~1.zip\FamilyTree.fdb] I did that File - Restore. When my filename didn't change to the name I chose - Family Tree - I tried the File - Save As. My file name is now Legacy - [C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\TEMP2_Family Tree 2017-01-17 5.15.33 PM.zip\Family Tree.fdb] I obviously am blindly just doing whatever. I don't find Legacy intuitive. How am I suppose to open Legacy? I did a search on Legacy's website, and once again, results were not helpful. When I do open Legacy the "right" way (if I'm doing it right) Legacy keeps opening to an older file of Family Tree even though I thought I saved my temporary file to the latest save. No wonder I just kept using the file I wasn't suppose to open and use. If I'm confusing, it's because I'm confused.
