Karima.
When you open gensmarts you should be able to go to the menu and select file
- the open the "file open wizard". It will ask for what program you are
using. select Legacy and it should open it right up. Once you have done
this. Gensmarts will open the file every time you open the program.

It wants to open your Legacy database, not the zip file.

Subject: [GENSMARTS] Question regarding Legacy and GenSmarts
When I backup my family file (and media file)
When I backup my family file (and media file) in Legacy, a "zip" file is
created.
When I try to open this file in GenSmarts, and navigate to the place (Data
file) where the
backed up "zip" files are located, no files are shown.
I must be doing something wrong. Can someone help me with this?

Hi Karima. I assume GenSmarts is looking for a specific type of file with a
specific file extension and is ignoring the zip file [and any other files in
that folder] because it is the wrong extension.
I use TMG -- I use my regular file which is apparently what it is looking
for. I have used GenSmarts since they first came out and I have never had a
problem doing that.Since you always have a backup it shouldn't be a concern.
However, if you are concerned you can copy your data file to another folder
and us
Good Morning Cheryl,
Yes, I did. Now that I understand the "saving" and "backing-up" differences
in Legacy, it all makes more sense to me.

Thank you Cheryl.
I haven' been using Legacy very long and am not up to par with it yet.
Appreciate your help.
