Hi Bob, I don't experience this with a file of about 10,000 and FTM 16.

I suspect it is a timing problem that is probably associated with the fact that there are over 94,000 people in my file, but I have no solid evidence as to what causes this instability. > > I have contacted FTM support a number of times about the problem, but they apparently have no clue as to what is causing it and, from their response, give me the distinct impression that they have no interest in solving it. Fortunately, their File Fixer software is able to isolate and precisely identify the problem, which can then be fixed (manually) in the repaired file that the File Fixer generates. So the only real loss, at least for me, is the time it takes to ID and repair the problem. Which brings me to the point. > > The reason for this note is not to bad-mouth FTM, which I am otherwise quite happy with, but to inquire if this problem is unique to me, or whether others have experienced the same thing? > > -----Bob H---- > ---------------------------------------- > Basic List Commands: > > 1.
