Georgia, I should have also reminded you to follow all the other instructions in Legacy Troubleshooting before trying to see if the deletions have made a difference. Especially repeating the runs of File Maintenance until you do not get an error report.

I was able to open them but, of course, the formatting was crazy. I deleted the two .usr files related to Timelines, went back to Legacy, did another file maintenance/check repair but when I go to an individual's chronology and try to add a timeline, I still get the same error message. What do you suggest next?
