The Family File is open--and the name of the file is at the top of the Window.

When I went to C;\Legacy\Data, the file was there but it was only ca1300 KB -- smaller than the sample file!

As I've said, I can find the file -- there just isn't anybody in it!

Hi Pat,

I am not clear as to whether you have actually looked for your Family File or just that the screen comes up blank. Assuming the latter, I cannot imagine that your Family Files have been deleted so they must be on your computer somewhere but Legacy may be looking in the wrong place. If you have used the defaults then they would be stored in C:\Legacy\Data so I would go to My Computer and look there. If they are then double click on the one you want and Legacy should open it. It will then remember where they are.

If you did not use the defaults then go to the folder where you stored them and repeat. If they are not there then I suggest using Windows Explorer to search for the file and once found again double click on it.

If they cannot be found then I would try searching for the backups using Windows and again double click to open in Legacy or go to Legacy>File>Restore Family File.

Ron Ferguson

Thanks, Ron--

Well, I think you're right about the DeLuxe already being active--this time when I opened the file (and I did restart my computer), it did say DeLuxe edition in the lower right corner--I hadn't noticed that before.

Well, as far as opening the Family File, I did that originally and again this time. And it displays the name of the family file at the top of the window -- there just aren't any names in it!

Also the directions said that in the process of reinstalling or whatever Legacy, I would be asked to enter a password, namely "family," but that never happened.

To open family file: File>Open Family File and click on the one you want. If there is no Unlock Legacy Delux box then it may already be active. If not have you restarted Legacy?

Thanks for your help.
However when I followed the directions at that website, I now

1) seem to have Legacy but not Legacy Deluxe.
2) The directions say to go to Help>Unlock Legacy Deluxe. But when I go to Help there is no
"Unlock . . . Deluxe " option listed.
3) Also when I open my family file, it is blank. there are NO people in it.
So NOW what do I do?

Pat
