Re: [LegacyUG] Research Freezes
Well I run a File check every night before backup, and I find I rarely ever have the problems often mentioned on this list.

Re: [LegacyUG] Research Freezes
There is a problem with anything causing a freeze. I haven't seen this freezing myself and I think that's what Jay is saying - they didn't see the freeze either. The program can sometimes appear to freeze because a secondary window has opened behind instead of in front of the primary window. Using Alt + Tab to cycle through open programs stopping when you get back to Legacy can cure this as the hidden window comes to the front. Re File Maintenance in Legacy. The Legacy database is a Microsoft Access database. These databases need regular maintenance. You do that from the File Ribbon - File Maintenance - Check/Repair. You need to do it regularly or you will have problems. It's not the cure for all ills but it cures a lot. For this sort of freezing issue if Alt + Tab doesn't solve it are probably best taken direct to Support. Cathy At 01:46 PM 20/12/2013, you wrote: No, I haven't.

Re: [LegacyUG] Research Freezes
Alt - tab pops up so Notepad items I have in the tray but were not behind the program. I just start the program, go to Research and first click I make locks it up. This is after I have put it through File check, Repair, list and compact with nothing in the log or any complaints other than a half-dozen sentence changes in Events. I've used Fox Pro and Visual Fox Pro and DB3 databases and never had to check, repair those unless major corruption had occurred and then you were pretty much out of luck anyway. But I'll take your word for Access and I'll check with support. Thank you.
