Troubleshooting Legacy Files
If you have problems with your legacy files, review the following issues.
Trusted Location
If your EXTRA! .EDP files are stored in Program Files\Attachmate\EXTRA! (and not in \My Documents), and you open the .EDP files in Reflection 2011 or 2008, then an error displays: "Unable to open because it is not in a trusted location." To resolve this error, add the EDP file location (path) to Reflection's Trusted Locations.
Custom Configuration File Location
If you open an .EDP file that refers to other custom configuration files (for example, a custom keyboard map file), the custom configuration file must be in the same location as the .EDP file, otherwise Reflection 2011 or 2008 will use a default file, and you may think that the EXTRA! custom configuration settings have been lost.
To determine if Reflection 2011 or 2008 found the EXTRA! .EKM file, open the Manage Keyboard Maps dialog and look at the filename being used. If it isn’t using an .EKM file, Reflection could not find the keyboard map file, so used one of the defaults.
