Sounds distressing. Have you tried to see if File > Database Tools run from top to bottom makes any difference. If not, you will likely have to restore from a backup and redo some work. The questions remain: what happened and will it happen again?

No idea if knowing what I was doing might help – just submitted this to tech support as I don’t dare continue with anything! Last night I had no problem creating reports for each source in the source list to show people, families or fact types that were using a given source; even printed a few out. TODAY no matter what source I select the report is blank except for the heading !!!! I have spent HOURS creating new sources with the correct formats and merging the new one with an old one because my old ones transferred in free-form..... I was certainly ASSUMING my connections would be there, no reason not to, and then I could clean up each relationship separately! Sources have never been my strong point so this attempt to do them ‘correctly’ is off to a very bad start! (Yes, those of you who know me are laughing!!) Anyway, TODAY no lists to work from !!!!

OK, this is getting more weird! All my other 'lists' appear to be working perfectly or appear to be! But the first time I viewed the Repository List there was both an auto merge and a merge button. Merged one while I was there and now I no longer HAVE a merge button showing, ONLY an auto merge!!! Created a gedcom as I remember a webinar that said if you could create a gedcom file the database was not corrupted, have done all the database tool things with no error messages --- have no idea what to do next. Doing a restore to last night's backup will make me lose all I've done this morning so holding off on that for some input from folks!!!!! If it's just a bug and will be fixed I don't want to lose all my work !!!! Sources are NOT my favorite thing and I've done a lot of work!!!!!
