Dennis, I think she's referring to things like "age 2 years" or some other non-*date* information. Of course, there will be some non-numerical info such as the month, "about", "before", etc. If the data in the field isn't recognizable as a date, then you'll get the errors in the check/repair.
I've seen some strange things in some of the "problem" files that users have sent me! (I've also seen some meticulous files that I'm really jealous of!) Thanks for using Legacy.
