This might be easier to show with a series of pictures, or a video - but I will try to describe the problem.
Despite check repair, etc I have a problem with 9 children added with birth date (no death date) for all, in a single session of about 20 minutes. This is a simple family (no half-siblings, etc) and all born between 1884 and 1900, all marked as deceased. They show as for example, "birth date of child 4 is before birth date of child 3" - previously, I thought that the order in which children are added is not important, and I believe I saw that Legacy sorts them appropriately. When I click the red exclamation mark, to display the Potential Problems red explanation/warning description, the Potential Problems List window (a rather large one) pops up - but is empty - and immediately a messagebox (Attention) pops up over it, informing me that there isn't a problem. I haven't changed the "rules" relating to births of children in any way, since starting to use Legacy v8 - I find it's simpler to leave the defaults for many/most things (so, I'm happy to accept that 120 is a reasonable age for a life, rather than change it down to 99). And, as stated above, I have done the suggested repairs and do a new backup each time I quit. There are about 500 people in the database - a modest size. My only thought is to unlink all 9 from the parents, and link them back in again. But it's worrying that (A) the program seems to think they should be in birth-date order as listed in the lower panel, and (B) the error that is generated is "dismissed" by the program itself as not real. I think there is some stuff-up in the Microsoft Access database, but I'm unwilling to delete .ldb files. Ian Thomas Albert Park, Victoria 3206 Australia
