Hi Gloria The Relationship Calculator is extremely easy to use, once you are used to it. By default, the Left Person will be your default person. If you are viewing any other person in the tree then that person will become the Right Person. Otherwise, from the Select. Person buttons

Hi This should only take a few minutes. If half of the dialog is missing then you should be able to drag it back into vision. Then see if there is a button waiting for a response. Do you have a current backup, which you should always do before running Check/Repair. If so, restore that and run
