I can open a bakup file with winfin 25 but how can I change the bakup to my ver 26 to make it a regular file in ver 26?
Man, I hope this makes sense. Thanks for any help.

You should be able to open in in F26, then do a Save As to something else. Barring that, you can just rename .bakx to .musx with Windows--it's the same file format.
