Thanks for all the suggestions from those who responded. Not that I guess it matters, but I neglected to mention I'm using Legacy 7.4 on Windows 7 Home Premium desktop and Vista Home Premium on the laptop.
DROPBOX says all files up-to-date. I've done both a RESTART as well as a SHUT DOWN to no avail. I've not found any .ldb files anywhere. I don't have the opportunity to close/exit Legacy as the message comes up immediately and I only have the options of TRY AGAIN, NO or QUIT. NO or QUIT exits Legacy immediately. I tried copying the Legacy files from the laptop to a thumbdrive and attempted to open the file from the thumbdrive by clicking the "main" Legacy icon and the file opens! So, obviously Legacy itself is working correctly. It seems that the file(s) stored in DROPBOX got corrupted in some manner. Since I've not made any changes to my database I have redundant backups on the laptop, an external HD and not in any particular panic about loosing my file altogether. Just want to be able to get a GOOD version safely back into DROPBOX. Before doing it, and making a bad situation worse, what's the consensus of opinion on this plan? Deleting all the Legacy files in the DROPBOX area; then opening the file from the thumbdrive. From there do a SAVE FAMILY FILE AS the name I'd been using in DROPBOX. This, hopefully, would restore a 'good' copy to DROPBOX. gc On Fri, 19 Feb 2010 15:21:06 -0800 Brian Schultz <briansfamilyhist...@gmail.com> writes: > Dropbox is the likely culprit.
