My two cents…. I have over 13,000 FAG memorials in my database and most of the time they are entered by copy and paste (I use two monitors while entering data). I for one am grateful that “File maintenance – check/repair” catches these errors.. otherwise they would go undetected and be a totally unfunctional. It not “Legacy’s” fault I made the typo errors. I don’t know a solution, but I would hate to lose the basic functionality that check/repair provides.

You will need to re-add the Find a Grave ID back to the individual the ID belongs to. You can search Find a Grave using the ID(s) listed below for who it should be added to. ====================================================================== Find A Grave ID = 77730037 And it wipes out both the good and the bad numbers., Now while the good is easy to recover because they capture it and report , the bad is lost. So in effect Legacy programmers have programed a scenario that looses a clients data. -- ICMac Sales: Hobby consultant (1986r.)
