So then rather than clicking on the Logic 9 project again I opened Logic 9 from the application menu and it opened the last Logic 9 project I worked on and from there I am able to view 'recent' files and found that particular older Logic 9 file so I clicked on it and it opened fine in Logic 9.
I think it is assuming I want to work in Logic Pro X because that is the last place I worked this morning. 'Projects created in previous versions of Logic are not compatible with Logic Pro X' When I try to open a saved Logic 9 project this afternoon I get this window: Keep in mind the last project I worked on this morning was a Logic Pro X file. Thanks Eric - I didn't want to report back until I had a chance to work with both Logic 9.1.8 and Logic Pro X (10.3) in my MacBook.
