pjbw, have you tried the Ecco Extension authored by Slangmgh? If not, you may be amazed by how much it extends the capabilities of Ecco Pro. And a lot of the error messages you can get in Ecco are caused by the Ecco’s limitations on the number of items you can put in a database or a folder; the Ecco Extension does not remove these limits completely, but it does do quite a lot in that regard. In other words ... if you used Ecco Extension, you might find that it makes Ecco a lot less fragile.
