I agree with Adrien wholeheartedly. It is important to note that the Check and Repair function has a different scope of operation depending on which type of window has the current focus when it is invoked, and that if started from a window that allows access to the entire inventory of transactions, such as the chart of accounts window (I think), the process may take a considerable amount of time, possibly an hour or longer in some cases, so it would be desirable to have a task manager running in your OS to help determine when the action is complete.
