Actually, they don't charge.

You do have to convince tech support that your problem deserves
the free service, but if you are very patient, they will try to
fix your file for free (you upload your file to their web site;
they fix it - if they can - then you download the repaired
file).

Good to know. I got the impression that tech support generally didn't
take anyone's problems seriously unless you paid for it.

Installation, conversion, and known bugs are among the issues
for which there is no tech support charge.

Thank you everyone...I guess my last reply never did get posted.

I did a validate and it was OK...at least no issues showed.
As far as sending the file to Intuit goes, that will never happen! I
mean who would send a file with all of your financial data ANYWHERE?!!

I thought of something else to investigate. Have you done a Scandisk
and Defrag of your system recently/at all? What Os are you running?
