Hi Jerry,
Some thoughts:
Will the Sample Database open in your Legacy 6 installation or do you
need to uninstall and reinstall Legacy 6?
If the Sample Database opens OK, try restoring your Desktop file on
the floppies in Legacy 6 (or is it a copy of the database rather than
a backup?) If it is copy, make a backup of your Legacy database on
your desktop and restore it on the laptop.
You don't say what build of Legacy 5 you were using. Depending on
what build of Legacy 5 you are using, you would have to allow Legacy
to do a database conversion as the database structure has changed.
The structure for the final build of Legacy 5 and Legacy 6 are the same.
Let us know if that helps,
Cathy

In preparation for a trip I backed up my Legacy 5.0 Desktop file to
floppies and then restored those files to Legacy 5.0 on my Laptop.
The file opened fine once! Now, after deleting Legacy 5.0 and
installing Legacy 6.0 on the laptop, the file still won't open. I
get this message: "Error opening database. Unrecognized database
format 'C\Legacy\Data\Pallai.fdb'. Would you like to try it again?"
Obviously, when I try again, I get the same message. How can I get
the Laptop database to open? I'm not installing Version 6 on the
desktop until I resolve the laptop problem for fear of messing the
desktop up. If a solution is to delete some data files, I need to
know just how to find them and do the job.
Thanks in advance for your input.
Jerry
