The objectives of compacting any file are to make it smaller and run faster.
Obviously, if the .fdb file has been compacted it will be smaller and hence the
back-up file will be as well, only providing that no additional data has been
incorporated.

True, but she said it was happening *every* time, and has the same number of
people. Unless she was deleting more names the compaction should have a
one-time effect, as would repairing other errors (assuming they got fixed).

Hi
Garry,
This report is currently available in Legacy 6. We've previously published
an article about this entitled How to find ancestors who have missing
information. This is available at
http://legacynews.typepad.com/legacy_news/2006/12/how_to_find_anc.html, in
the Blank Lines Report section.
I cannot find this option either. Would someone specify exactly where do you

is the correct display in the family view for descendants of "half"

Have you tried a Fix/Repair on the database?

It's unclear whether you mean the Relationship displayed above the
individuals in Family View is incorrect or you are confused by
the viewing of 1/2 kids.
The ability to View 1/2 kids in Family View is for the convenience of
the user.
It is not an attempt to put on screen a Family Group
IMHO, you have a problem whenever while looking at the
Name List, you can't find every person you expect to
be there. What I would do first find the person by the
round about method you mention, and Tag them to an
unused number. Check that person's spelling and dates
accurate. Turn Legacy off, and
I use a program called Syncback that does the same thing. There's a
free version that works just fine. On that one, you define a Source
(usually a folder on your C-drive) and a Destination (usually the same
folder on your external drive, if you have one, or flash-drive). Click
RUN any time
Replicator and other backup programs are not designed to duplicate an entire
drive. What you would need for that is a disk imaging program. A disk image is
nice, but overkill for most people because it is very time consuming to create.
Assuming you keep the disks that came with the computer,
