Thanks, Mike. My Legacy regular active db is in Google/Legacy Files so it's in a folder. This is also the folder where I backup my husband's family db.\ (the one that's messed up).
I keep my family files and backups in Dropbox. Today I took Kathy Pinner's advice and went back to my latest backup which was May 1 (altho I wondered if this was corrupted) and it seems to be OK when I restored it. At least it completes File Maintenance w/o problems. So I will just try to recreate whatever I've lost since then and carry on. However I already put my restored Family File from Google Drive into "My Documents" where Legacy seems to want them. I'll continue to backup to the cloud. Thanks for the help. I did see 3 "Conflicted" fdb files for this particular database in the Google folder. Odd that I never got any kind of warning or anything that there was a conflict. And no, I never open 2 Legacy files at the same time, so it wasn't that. *Marilyn* On Sun, May 3, 2015 at 1:51 AM, MikeFry <emjay...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 2015/05/03 02:43 AM, Marilyn Clark wrote: > > > Yes, So, I went thru and deleted all those "General Notes".
