Thanks, Chris. That sounds interesting and I'll bear it in mind if the 
problem is repeated.

I have noticed that one solution to this problem is to close Windows with a
Restart instead of Close. It appears that Close saves the current status of
the system, which might include which files are open, while Restart will
close everything. I don't know why MS do it that way round and I would
expect it to be the other way around, but then I have only been in IT

Re: [LegacyUG] Family file in use

This can happen if Legacy does not close down correctly. A filename.ldb 
file is left in the folder where your file is stored. It can also happen 
if you have Legacy Charting or Legacy Family Search running when you try 
to open Legacy because those modules also open your family file.


Shut down any open Legacy, LegacyFamilySearch or LegacyCharting programs.

Use Windows file Explorer to access the folder where your Family 
file(s). Look for and delete any .ldb files you find.


Restart Legacy and you should be fine.

Good morning from Finland,

When I turn on Legacy I get the following message:

I looked at Task Manager and there was only one Legacy open. So what
