Hi,

I have MANY backups of the database .odb file.  I could go back a year or two
to see if the problem exists.  Some times it takes an hour or two of use before
it shows up.

I have seen the problem a time or two with 5.1.6.2.  Sometimes, even if I do a
"Force" quit I see soffice.bin running in "top" and have to kill it with "kill
-9 ###"

I was using 5.3.3 before and did not see the problem.  But, during the summer I
am busy doing other things and may not have stressed it enough then.

How does one un-corrupt a file.  Yes I could go back to a odb file that appears
OK, but the work involved may be monumental to update to "current".
It would be nice if someone would write some software to test basic stuff for
corruption, like "relataionships" - see attached jpeg.

Ralph
