Alt - tab pops up so Notepad items I have in the tray but were not
behind the program. I just start the program, go to Research and first click I
make locks it up.
This is after I have put it through File check, Repair, list and
compact with nothing in the log or any complaints other than a half-dozen
sentence changes in Events. I've used Fox Pro and Visual Fox Pro and DB3
databases and never had to check, repair those unless major corruption had
occurred and then you were pretty much out of luck anyway.
But I'll take your word for Access and I'll check with support.
Thank you.

There is a problem with anything causing a freeze.
I haven't seen this freezing myself and I think
that's what Jay is saying - they didn't see the freeze either.
The program can sometimes appear to freeze
because a secondary window has opened behind
instead of in front of the primary window. Using
Alt + Tab to cycle through open programs
stopping when you get back to Legacy can cure
this as the hidden window comes to the front.
Re File Maintenance in Legacy. The Legacy
database is a Microsoft Access database. These
databases need regular maintenance. You do that
from the File Ribbon - File Maintenance -
Check/Repair. You need to do it regularly or you
will have problems. It's not the cure for all ills but it cures a lot.
For this sort of freezing issue if Alt + Tab
doesn't solve it are probably best taken direct to Support.
