Thanks Cathy and Jay, I managed, for some unknown reason, to open the database and saved a copy which I renamed.
I deleted all the lbb files in case that was a lock problem. I rebooted the system and Legacy opened fine. I ran the check and repair which fixed an error in a marriage. I saved the file and have managed to run the check and repair three consecutive times with no errors. I have also cleaned up the debris via List Maintenance. I have tested by adding, changing and deleting records - the data appears fine and the Legacy progam is behaving itself. I am confident I am back on the rails!! Thanks once again for you help.
