Just catching up on some of these messages and yours tickled me. If you had said it was a government accounting program and .FG stood for fiscal government, I would have peed in my pants.

I do see some *.fg files in my Legacy folders (in fact, I see a bunch!), but I am not sure what they are for. Suggestion: Can you see the full name of the FG file? Such as Brown.FG? If you can, try this: 1. Go to START 2. Click on Search 3. Enter the name of *your* file, such as Brown.* (without the extension) 4. Click Search. I am hoping you will find your file elsewhere on the hard drive? If it is still in the Recycle Bin, this will find it for you. If it is in a folder marked Timbuktu, it will find it for you.

It's also unlikely that you would have deleted it in error -- you'd get warnings. Furthermore, even if you had, it should still be in your Recycle Bin -- have you checked if it's there?

I was wrong. Legacy uses a feature called Focus Group, and I did not think about that when I answered this inquiry. "FG" is also an extension for Legacy's Focus Group settings, in addition to whatever other companies also use "FG" for their purposes. The program I have is NOT a government accounting program, it is just personal home accounting program.
