With Legacy closed, check your data folder for lock files
*.ldb and delete them. Some may have been left
behind if Legacy crashed.

Alan,
Had a similar problem again tonight. Using the split screen view, did
a drag and drop of the data in a Legacy file into my "master" file.
Had about 15 children that were flagged as a problem. Check/Repair
reported it fixed the problem.
Also having a problem with file maintenance. Can not do the file,
compact family file without extensive experimenting. Keeps saying that
it can not run because another copy of the file is open or something
like that. Nothing shows when I check for a Legacy file still running
after closing Legacy. Using Ctrl-alt-Del, no Legacy applications or
process file open, but still get the same message when I try opening
Legacy and try the file, compact family file again. Doing other
operations like combining duplicate locations and other things finally
allows file, compact family file to work. Happened numerous times
today and previous days.

I am encountering problems with Merging trees in Legacy 9.0.0.189
(Latest Build) from one Legacy Tree into another using drag and drop
in split screen view and was wondering if it was a known problem or
if anyone else is experiencing the same problem.
The problem happens when I drag an individual (who has a wife and
children records linked) from the source file onto the matching
individual in the destination file (who does not yet have any wife
and children records linked). The wife and children are being
successfully transferred to the destination file but the children are
not being displayed under the parents in Family View because, it
seems, the merge process has failed to create a child link in the
parents’ marriage record for each child. This becomes apparent when
Check/Repair is run after completing the Merge routine, when a the
following message is displayed:
Check/Repair of Legacy Family File:
C:\Users\Acer\Documents\Family\LegacyData\Family.fdb
Date: 08-25-2017
Please check this file very carefully.
It's a good idea to run another Check/Repair after you verify the
items in this file.
==
There are 1 Individual record(s) that point to parents but are
missing a Child Link:
==
Individual: RIN 107956, Parents' MRIN: 33962, Fixed
the Child Link.
Note (1): (IMPORTANT) this only seems to be a problem when the
parent’s marriage record is blank in the Source file.
Note (2): This problem occurs for all families included in the merge
criteria where the marriage record is blank.
Note (2): this problem never occurred for me in earlier versions of
Legacy.
I am also reporting this problem to support.
Thanks for your time
