Thank you Cathy, you saved the day! Indeed it was a missing story that caused the error and it would seem that those numbers in parentheses are a clue to the Legacy location. (1, 18835) The error occurs in my RIN #1 though I'm not sure about the 18835 as I do not have that many stories in my file. But when I went to RIN #1 and tried to open the story, I got my old familiar error message. I deleted the link and then I was able to extract my family file from my master database with no problems or errors.
Many Kudos Cathy !!!! PS: if other list members have the same situation and get errors, here's a little tip: When you go to back up the extracted file be sure to close the other file or you will get "Backup Error 527" Close the master or larger file and it will go without incident. murf On Sun, Jul 9, 2017 at 10:59 PM, Cathy Pinner <genea...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dennis, > > Have you added any Stories? > A couple of people on Facebook have had a similar error message doing > different things to you and each other. > They both tracked it to a problem with a seemingly blank Story location. > I can't force it to happen so I'm not sure what is causing it. > > I can just suggest checking Stories.
