I intended to mention in my previous reply: Sorry, I did miss that you had already tried Validate/Super Validate. But you didn't mention that you tried them on a Quicken Copy of your data. The Quicken Copy not only makes a copy of the .QDF file, but it removes any "logically deleted" data from the file. When you tell Quicken to delete data, Quicken typically does not actually remove that data from the file: Quicken usually just marks that data as deleted, in such a way that when Quicken later encounters that data, Quicken treats it as not being in the file. Sometimes that logically deleted data can cause problems in Quicken, and occasionally when that happens, removing the logically deleted data from the .QDF file, then Validating can repair a problem that it could not repair when the logically deleted data was still in the .QDF file.
