Doesn't anyone pay attention to the Legacy guidelines which are very clear about not sending attachments to the list?

I've opened the .fdb file, performed the file maintenance, exported it to GEDCOM and reopened it. I've imported the GEDCOM file into a new family file, performed the file maintence, and saved it as a GEDCOM. Then when I import this GEDCOM into the new family file, this is the error I get. I use an iMAC running Parallels 7 running Windows 7 Pro into whihc I have my Legacy program loaded. This setup worked before, but this is the first instance I've noted that produced this error.

It could be those needing to be told this procedure are less aware of potential trouble as I was years ago and subsequently lost all [[data]] and 'private' and 'living' individuals.

They can often be fixed by doing a Check and Repair of the family file. First, backup your family file, or if it won't backup, then make a copy of it.. Next, please click on File on the menu bar and select File Maintenance > Check/Repair and proceed with the repair. If any error messages occur during the Check/Repair process, click No in the error message box so that the repair steps can finish. Do Check/Repair twice if errors are found. If the program is still gives you errors, export your records into a GEDCOM file and then import the GEDCOM back into a new family file in Legacy. Use the new family file. Please let us know how it goes.
