I don't see any replies, so others are probably not experiencing this problem. I would try: o Run Check/Repair on your main .fdb. o Close/Start Legacy. o Reboot your PC. o Close Legacy, delete the .FG file that is associated with your .fdb, and restart Legacy. o Close Legacy, delete the .usr files, and restart Legacy. After each one, try creating a GEDCOM and see if it fixes the problem. If I were a betting man I would bet on #4 as the problem. A .FG is a Focus Group file. Maybe it has become corrupt. The last one is a "last resort". If you get that far and that doesn't work, restore the .usr files from the Recycle Bin.
