Judy, Just a word of caution... I wouldn't worry about using Access on your Legacy .fdb file this early in your Legacy journey. As I understand it, there are only certain things that people here on the LUG list have figured out how to do & do safely, or have developed tools to do safely. Like, I've been a user for 4-5 years and am just now trying this combining sources thing! --Paula in Texas Researching: Adair Baker Betz Bigley Blagrave Burton Chapman Clement Clough Coppernoll Costine Daulton Dinwiddie Doody Ellis Exline Field Floran Floyd Gates Goodale Gordon Gump Harbaugh Hopkins Hughes Jones Koyle Laswell McDonald Misner Passwaters Pelton Roberts Roche Ryburn Sullivan Williams

When you go to open your file in Access, for "Files of type" select "All files (*.*)" instead of the long list of extensions which are usually showing. OR just type *.fdb in the filename box and click ok then select from the list of files. OR just make sure you have selected the right folder and type the full filename in the filename box - myfamilyfile.fdb. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
