Pamela: I have Windows XP and the simplest way for me is to copy/paste the gedcom to the desktop. Then *right* click once and you get a pop-up box. The second option is "Open With" and Legacy should be in that list.

When I am sent a Gedcom and try to open it Legacy goes straight into update mode and updates the system but will not let me open the Gedcom. I feel very ignorant but can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong as it means I cannot open Gedcoms that are sent to me via email. I have been a lurker appreciating all the advice on the list.
