Main problem is that where I co-operate with other family members, they
usually  use other software, and many use on-line trees such as
Ancestry, Rootsweb, and GenesRe, so I keep a copy on those sites and
update when I've made a lot of changes. That's when I need a gedcom, to
import my complete tree, rather than typing the changes into each tree
one by one.

It doesn't always seem to be the same people, but I can't pin down why
certain people have errors. The oldest database I have is only about two
months ago. I am using a test copy for my experiments.
