Ellen, I haven't heard of any corruption problems when upgrading to v8. I would suggest trying again - firstly, go back to v7.5 and check the same records to verify that there were no issues before the upgrade to v8. Then do a Backup and then Compact File and a Check/Repair on the file, verify that all is well, then open it in v8. Legacy will convert the file to v8 format leaving the previous v7.5 file intact.
If you have been using Legacy v7.5 then you know the program is an excellent one. I have several family tree programs and only promote Legacy. All the best, Bob From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2014 9:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] 7.5 files corrupted in 8.0 I have been busy completing a 1970-page book using Legacy 7.5 and only yesterday was able to begin working in 8.0 I opened one of my well-reviewed family lines in 8.0 only to find that it is corrupted. Is this a known problem or has it been fixed? It appears that I have the latest build of 8.0.0.439. So far I found that someone born in the 1900s was moved to be a child of the original immigrant in the 1700s. After doing a check/repair, it says that I have marriages messed up with husbands and wives swapping places with each other in some cases. Sometimes brothers and sisters are listed as married persons. In at least one of those cases, the child died in infancy and never married. Does anyone know what is going on and how I can fix this without great upheaval of 1000s of names? I don't know how I am to trust any of the information in that file at all now. I have begun making some changes until I realized what was happening. I'm trying to get updates in the computer and don't want to work with corrupted files. Also we have the reunion this weekend where I want to promote Legacy. I cannot in good conscience promote something with so many problems.
