Jay, You can always follow the link at the bottom of each message ("List information page"), and from there get to the search form for the mailing list archives. Doing that with a query of "deep company" in the body of the message led me to the following: <http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/ftm-tech/2015-05/1431624315> -- Mary On 5/30/2015 11:17 PM, Thompson Jay via wrote: > Noticed a sticky problem shortly after discarding all of the emails pertaining to "deep" compacting.I am using version 22.0.0.1345. 51,000+ individuals.When I try to compact my file it gets to about 99% and crashes! I think I have found the offending couple. I have disconnected them from the rest of their family and renamed them. Reentered them and fixed all attachments, so the bad pair is an island. I think the man is the real problem. I am unable to change any of the information on him. (date of death, birth and death place) If I try, it just comes back. I have eliminated all of the wife's info, but I cannot break the marriage either by delete or detach. When I try to compact the file, it analyses all but about 12-15 of 182,000+ facts and then hangs up for 10 seconds or so , then crashes. I have also done an uninstall/reinstall. Help!
