Hi Pat, If I'm reading you correctly, you want to open a file in Legacy v8 that you've not opened in v8 before, and you're not sure which file to open?
If you've never opened this file in v8, the list of recently opened files there is not going to help you. (For future reference, you reach this in v8 by clicking on the blue L in the top left-hand corner.) Is it because you don't know what folder the file is in? Or that you don't know what the file is called? Or both?
