In Ancestral Quest run the file maintenance routines first. Now open Legacy and use the direct import instead of a gedcom. File > Import File > PAF/Ancestral Quest
Now about your other issue, the Potential Problem alerts you are seeing.. You might want to change some of the settings to that the Potential Problems work for you instead of against you. The first thing you need to do it go to Tools > Potential Problems and set your preferences. You can skip the Records tab, that is for when you want to run a report. Look at the Warnings, Problems, Standardization and Gaps tabs. Review the selections to see if there is anything you want to change. The "Gaps" warnings is more for new researchers. Seasoned researchers know to look for these gaps automatically. They know that they can signal either an unknown child or possibly a second marriage. I have the Gaps option completely turned off. Here is another thing you will want to do to decrease the number of potential problems. If you use any events that normally occur AFTER someone died (Cemetery, Obituary are two common ones) you will want to exclude these from the Potential Problems checking GLOBALLY. Go to View > Master Lists > Event Definition. Highlight the event and then click Edit over on the right. At the top of this box you will see some check mark boxes. Make sure you check Exclude from Potential Problems Report. Another thing that will cut down on PP errors is to globally sort your children and then tell Legacy to sort the children as you enter new ones (you can also do this for marriages and events but those two don't flag as errors) To globally sort... Go to Tools > Other Tools > Sort Children, Marriages, and Events. Check mark the ones you want to do and there you go. Now we need to set it in the Options menu. Go to Options > Customize > 2. Data Entry 2.2 When Adding New Spouses, Children, and Events (gbl). Set your check marks here and now you are finished. You don't want to let the Potential Problems to get too far ahead of you. If something is not a problem then mark it as such right then (hover over the PP icon and follow the directions that appear in the box that pops up). I would also run a global report from time to time to check on the outstanding ones that you haven't cleared yet (Tools > Potential Problems, this time go to the Records tab) If you still want to turn them completely then go to Options > Customize > 8. View Go to 8.11 Monitor Potential Problems (ff) and uncheck the box. Notice that this has an (ff) behind it which means it only affects this family file. You will need to go into each one of your family files and set it (if you have more than one file).

McCown Sent: Friday, September 9, 2016 10:50 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] New user trying to upload files I am a new user, and I am trying to load files from Ancestral Quest, version 14. I have some large note files, a few media, and a large database of 109,190 individuals. I have uploaded the deluxe software, at least 12 times or so, tried to import a GEDCOM, and all seems well, until I happen to click on one grandfather. When I do I get this message: Run-time error '9': Subscript out of range. When I click ok, the program closes. He was married twice, and had 11 children by each wife. Some of them have red flags because using the dates of official records, some of the births are too close to the birth of the previous child. Some of these might be the cause of so many of the infants deaths immediately. Of the second 11, only 4 lived any length of time. I have deleted the software several times, deleted the files, deleted the GEDCOM's and started over, but still get the same error message. The only thing I have not done is try to load a file direct from Ancestral Quest, and I could not seem to locate the file on my computer although I know where it is. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks so much. I am really frustrated. Jairmie in Technical Support has been very nice and made several suggestions with I tried. I even loaded the file and sent it to him, and he had no problem getting into the record of my grandfather.
