Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy update still not working - done
Eva, Next time just restart your computer. That closes any lock files that didn't clear properly when the file was closed. The alternative, if you are comfortable with doing it, is looking through your Data Folder and deleting any files with an ldb extension. You have to make sure you are only deleting LDB files and not FDB files. Cathy EMB wrote: Thank you Chris, but it didn't work at all. Fortunately I had all my 160.000 people and pictures well saved, so I deletet Legacy and did a complete new installation of Legacy. Now it works again!

If it is still present after the program is closed it will stop the file being 'reopened'. Sometimes clears after a reboot or might to be deleted manually after a reboot. May also apply to the x~hdb.hdb and some of the various .dbm files that Legacy uses.
