Hi, Dennis, When in the process of exporting my database to a GEDCOM 5.5 file, that's when I get my error message. Usually it shows up 3 times. (I spent some time just exporting the same file over and over to see if it reproduced the problem exactly.) Then the export proceeds, and finishes up.
I did as you suggested, exporting the database to a new Legacy file. Same problem occurred. Sherry sent me a note that I am not the only one experiencing this, so maybe I'll just sit tight and see what our support folks can figure out. Thanks everyone!
