Di Christensen,
First tell your daughter to leave the Documents\Legacy Family Tree\
folder alone. If it is moved or renamed, it is recreated with default
settings which may be why a different file opened in Legacy. Helpful
people like to put all your genealogy in one folder etc etc and this
can't be done with this Legacy folder. You can choose to keep your data
and media and backups elsewhere but not the Legacy settings.
Second check your Recycle Bin for any .fdb files in case she deleted
your most recent file OR ask her where she moved stuff to.
Third, if you have a current/recent backup - the Backup zips have dates
as part of the zip file/folder name as well as times - then use File >
Restore File in Legacy and find the latest data backup zip file/folder
(the media backups have media as part of the filename) and restore your
file. If you get a warning that you are about to overwrite a file,
provide a different filename.
You could also search your computer in Windows File Explorer for *.fdb
files. You'll see some if you just click the Start button and type fdb

When I open Legacy, it is missing about two years of information that
I added. This happened immediately after my daughter moved some files
in my Documents folder.
I can see the backups in my
Documents
Legacy Family Tree
Data
So I followed the instructions under Tips and How Tos for:
Backup & Restore - how to restore a Legacy file
However this has not worked.
How can I restore to my most recent version?
Thanking you for your help
Di Christensen
