Ok, I will actually get on with something else as the questions have been ignored?

LOL!

Sarcasm gets you nowhere with me. I have the old laptop but it is as good as knackered. I have downloaded Ancestral Quest now.

Hi Coombs,

I think confusion can arise because Personal Ancestral File is the name of the program as well as the file the program uses to hold your data.

I read your original post as meaning you were trying to open the file with another program - which of course doesn't work.

I hope Ancestral Quest has solved your problem,

Regards, Michael.
