Hi Carol,

There are two essential updates for windows. Make sure you have the latest version of the Data Access Components and the latest version of the Jet Database Engine. These two are critical to proper operation of Legacy under Windows 98 SE. I don't know if the Runtime Error 6 is caused by the lack of one of those updates but it is an area to check. I think if you use Windows Update and are lacking those two they should appear in your list of available updates.

Since upgrading to Legacy 6 I keep getting the error 'run time error 6'. It is activated when I try to open up the list of names in my family tree and then forces Legacy to shut down. I had no such problem with Legacy 5. I have the Deluxe edition of Legacy 6 and previously had the Deluxe edition of Legacy 5. The error even arises if I use the sample family file. I have tried running a repair check but I still have the problem. I've also followed the instructions to download a number of patches suggested on the other number solutions pages for Legacy technical help. I hope to purchase a new PC in January and wonder if the fact I have a windows 98 second edition machine might be the problem. However the patches I have downloaded should have updated my system.
Hoping someone can help
Many thanks
Carol
