Thanks for your advice, Chris. I am such a novice at the ends and outs of Legacy, I panic when something weird happens. I’ll stay away from Compact Family Records from now on.

The Compact, ignore my earlier email, should not remove any information. All that it does is to compress the various tables to recover space that had been used by deleted entries. Basically, Access never overwrites space that had been used by deleted records. It always just adds new data at the end. I would not normally expect to use Compress unless I had been deleting a lot of records.

There was an error (the number of which I cannot remember). The little blue circle has been spinning for nearly 30 minutes. A drop down box, half of which I can’t read, tells me this can be time consuming, and that terminating can be .....what? That part is off the screen. How long will this take? At the very top left corner Legacy (not responding.) Thanks for any advice.
