Hi Sherry, Thanks for the great advice.
I did a retest the Family File in Split Screen and I can still do six. The Help file which still indicates 6 screens. I didn't try it with six different family files. I'm using version 8.0.0.501 Bob -----Original Message----- From: Sherry/Support [mailto:she...@legacyfamilytree.com] Sent: Friday, June 26, 2015 9:57 AM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Two Unrelated Family Files It did in previous versions. The maximum is 2 now. It did open three windows but it would only duplicate the file I started with. The closer you get to the 2 GB, the greater the chances of running into problems when doing some of the calculations. Access needs some room to work in.... My suggestion would be to split the file, groups and individuals not linked to your Family File, clean it up to remove strange unknown entries that can show up from gedcom imports and do regular File > File Maintenance > Check/Repair and then the additional Compact Family File. Make sure your Master Lists are clean with no duplicates in them and it's probably best to not hang on to sources, locations and surnames that aren't in use. Purge those Master Lists.
