Quality check

 

To check your database for link errors, pick File from the main screen and then pick Quality check.

 

The quality check routine will read your database and check the links between people to look for errors.  Each person normally has a link to parents, spouse, events and sources.  Each family record has links to husband, wife, children, events and sources.  If the database gets corrupted, this routine will let you repair or delete invalid links.  Your database should not get corrupted unless your disk has a bad sector or unless the power goes off while data is being written to the disk.

 

You should make a new backup of your database before you let Quality check fix any errors.  If you are having errors, keep any old backups you have and make a new backup unto new disks.
