Ian,
There are too many possibilities for bad linking I think to try and
suggest what they may be.
When errors occur, check the linking.
Note you are told it's a possible "endless loop" and if you search the
Help there's an article indexed as "endless loop".
The Help file really is very good. ;)

I discovered the cause – I had sister and brother married. Fixed that.
Problem solved.
It probably needs Legacy program to suggest to user what the cause
might be – and, for the check/repair to generate an error for this
condition and suggest its cause.
Though of course the situation is not unheard of. If it is true, what
should Legacy FT do?
In this case for my data – it was untrue.

*Subject:* [LegacyUG] Descendant report problem
I have a weird error message when running a Descendant report at 5
generations – OK at 4 generations. Legacy v9 flags a marriage and
gives me MRIN and the couple’s names.
The message is that it has processed the marriage 3 times, and there
is danger of an endless loop.
I backed up, ran Check/Repair (see my previous posting to this list,
about same-sex relationsship reporting as a possible problem), and
after re-running the check/repair I have tried the same Descendant
report – with the same result.
The error message allows 2 more loops before stopping – I chose that,
and printed the page on which that error occurs (very grateful for
that error-checking coded into Legacy, which allows some clarification).
The printed report shows the wife twice (her RIN 710) at gen 5, so I
checked her parents children: she is the last born, no ‘duplicate’
(and I would not expect the RIN number to be duplicated). Her DOB is
too soon after birth of previous child (but that’s the data I have,
and I have seen that problem before with no affect on Descendant report).
All I can think of doing is to unlink her from the marriage and her
parents, and relink. Any other suggestions to try?
