Hello everyone, I just recently rejoined the list for FO and hope someone can help. I have had FO for many versions and now have FO 10. I have never had a really big problem until now. I have had some files expand greatly when I have been using the drag & drop feature between databases. In Nov. the back-up for my main file was 8,214 KB. Last week the same back-up was 29,434 KB and I hadn't added that much! All of a sudden FO is taking up most of the space on my disc partition of 1123MG. What does the .FPT extension mean? I think .CDX is index files and .DBF is database files, but neither my husband, who is a programmer or I, who am not, can figure out .FPT in this case.. The .FPT file has gone up to 1,739,054 KB and all I have done is add a few names and drag & drop 5-8 other names. The drag & drops now take forever too. At least 15 min. for a few names that are copied. I only have it merge a person and copy their descendants. I am sure to only mark those certain people to copy, and no others. The copy box shows the correct number, but takes forever to put them into the other file. When I checked the main file for record #s, it has 5994 ind., 2535 families, 10663 events, 745 sources, 9860 citations, 2062 places, 70 repositories, 72 to do, 24 addresses AND 3,562,711 multimedia ITEMS!! I only have 132 pictures in various scrapbooks, not over a million items!!! I hope some of you can give me some ideas on what to do about this wild expansion of FO and what might be causing it. It seems to have gone berserk. Thanks for any help with this problem. Marg McEuen
