* Because it doesn't catch all of them a large database can be a great mess in the end. * It's also strange that add to database without doubles find more doubles than add to the database (Without double check) and then kill doubles. * Kill doubles kills also a lot of games which aren't doubles at all. Something total different players where killed * It's also strange that kill doubles kills games where both sides didn't move. This results that a lot of valuable information will be deleted from the database. Complete crosstables will be ruined then. * I've seen A LOT of database corruptions, and I lost a lot of times my database due to errors with CB7. Did you use CB7 a lot of times?? For example did you also receive messagebox's after your 500th or 1000th startup of the software? I did receive :-) I use CB7 almost every day. (sometimes 5 times a day or so). If you don't know what's the matter with kill doubles then I don't expect you are a heavy user. However I really love database in comparison with CB6. Because It's MUCH faster.
