I am currently using version 2.30 and after merging a small database with my large one I find that when I do a database verification I always end up with a lot of names where the events are supposedly out of sequence. I checked them and they are all in proper order. Even rebuilding the key files doesnt correct this. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how to correct it? I did install the program into a different file and tried it there and got the same response.
