[LegacyUG] Family DATABASE modified date bug # two?

Sherry, Is this also in your bug tracking system? I looked on the Legacy web site under Help CenterSitemap for a bug list. Is there a place we can check for bugs in your tracking system so as to not waste people time and download bandwidth with problem verification? (Such as this one).
