Not quite sure how I did it but my most recent file has become one with a .FD extension. Sure it was something I did however be that as it may, I'm wondering if there is a way to reopen that file in Legacy.... at least one without needing a degree in computer science. <grin> I've the back-up done yesterday however there have been tons of entries since this morning so really would like to ressurect this file if possible. Again tons of thanks to everyone! Sheila
