.rc3 is the file concerned with Relationship Calculator and obviously this has become corrupted. I would open Windows Explorer and copy all the SULLIVAN-1 files to a temporary place of safety so you can revert to them if necessary. (Like having a backup.) Then delete the SULLIVAN-1.rc3 from the Data folder and open the family file again. Straight away, reset Relationships and a .rc3 file will be recreated. I think that should do it, but if it makes things worse, delete all the original SULLIVAN-1 files and move back the ones you copied and then wait for further advice from Support. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
