I have seen something similar once in Legacy 7. I'm sure it was caused by human error. What I did was merge the newest file with a backup of the file using IntelliShare merge. That allowed me to see all the location changes and discover the pattern. In my case, it was because Salt Lake City has been combined in the Master Locations List with Payson, Utah. Once I knew that, I changed all the Payson, Utah to Salt Lake City and then did the merge again to find the few entries that should have remained Payson. It took about an hour but that fixed over 5000 incorrectly linked entries. Hope this may help you to restore at least the locations that were right in your backup but somehow got zapped in your current file. Ron Taylor

If you try and access the offending window when it's in this state, Windows brings up a message asking whether you want to continue waiting or not. If you don't respond to this message then Windows will timeout and cancel the program for you. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg (g) 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
