Do you have the Family File open in another program such as Legacy Charting or one of the add-ons when you do the check/repair?
The ldb file is created as soon as the Family File is opened in Legacy or another program. Thanks for using Legacy.

Trying again does nothing except repeat the error - quit closes Legacy. A file "***.ldb" has been created in the data folder and with Legacy not running it cannot be deleted, moved, renamed, opened, edited or viewed. Rebooting deletes it, but it returns if I try further File Maintenance. Rebooting takes time that I would rather spend working the program.
