Sheila, A file with the .fg extension is a "focus group" file. It stores the focus group info for use with your main Family File and will have the same file name as your main Family File. You can't open it on it's own. It's normally a very small file. Thanks for using Legacy.

How are you trying to open this file? By double clicking on this file itself? OR, by opening Legacy and migrating to the file and opening it from within Legacy? It sounds like your file association table may have become mixed up and the Legacy file is no longer associated with Legacy, but with something called "FG". You should be able to right click on the file while holding down the shift key, choose the Open With option, then browse to Legacy, but before opening the file with Legacy, make sure the box is cheeked for "Always open this type of file with this program" or something to that effect, Alfred D.
