Will try repair first - wasn't sure what to do after I got that msg. Then will try B U. Thx. Betty FL
Betty, There is no harm in asking it to try and correct again, I usually repeat until there are no error messages. However, I have never had this message and it seems likely that the power failure has damaged your database, in which case you may have to send it to Legacy. Have you tried running your backup? You may notice that I have changed you post to plain text because I would like a second opinion from Dennis Kowallek, who will not have seen your post because he does not accept posts in HTML (and rightly in my opinion!). He may also be able to come up with an alternative scenario. So please adjust your email client settings so that any reply is in plain text. Hope you see this, Dennis, what do you think?

With Check Repair, I get: Error rebuilding Deleted Marriage List. Error 30-22: The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data in the field or fields that contain duplicate data, remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again. Would you like to TRY IT AGAIN?

Your problems could well be created by the electricity failure. I hope that you had a back up, and if so I suggest that you use File>Restore to run it, but when asked to save use a new file name. Check that to see if it is as it should be. You will then have to repeat the work since the last back-up. If not I would reinstall Legacy, and repeat. Ron Ferguson From: BF Sent: Monday, October 24, 2011 8:07 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Not Responding and Backups 1. The electricity went off yesterday while I was working. I opened Legacy again and didn't notice any oddities. Most of today I’ve been comparing 20 pgs of names submitted to me. At one point it hung on marriages – after clicking on the marriage icon I got a blank marriage screen and couldn’t get out a conventional way, so I used task manager to stop the program, which it said was Not Responding. When I opened it again I had the same man and woman listed as second marriages for each – just same names listed twice, and another person as wife of my ‘main’ subject; I was able to unlink him. The 2 marriages weren’t in the index as 2 people. Deleted and reentered. 2. I’ve had ‘Legacy Not Responding’ – just a couple of times since I’ve had it. Do I do something to cause that? Like start typing or enter before it has digested the last move?? 3. With all of that as a preface, I just found 2nd marriage info in my comparison that I thought I had entered months ago and the ‘wife’ is only connected to her parents now and they have no ancestors, I would not have entered them 'loose' – is it possible to ‘look at’ or ‘Compare’ a backup, or open it under another name? I suppose if I Restore it will overwrite my current files and delete anything I did the past 2-3 days, which may not have been a lot I spent a lot of time on findagrave and ancestry; but I don't know what would be lost. I wasn’t sure I should backup after the electricity stopped in case entries were damaged. If I could just look at an older one maybe there were children, siblings, and more links connected with that marriage?? (If so, where do I even find physical backups {not under File}? I use the default with current date.)
