Go to the folder where you family file is located using Windows file
Explorer. Look for any files with the .ldb extension. This is a file
used by MS Access to say a file is locked. sometimes if Legacy is not
closed properly (like a computer shutdown) these .ldb files may be left
behind. Normally they are deleted when the Family file is closed and
Legacy shuts down normally.
Delete all those .ldb files then try to restart Legacy.

I downloaded the upgrade to Legacy 9 two days ago. I tried to open
Legacy today and keep getting the message
"The microsoft jet database engine cannot open this file

is already opened exclusively by another user or you need permission to
view its data."
I've turned my computer off several times but keep getting this
message. Hopefully someone can help me!
Thanks,
