This utility allows you to verify the database based on the set of criteria specified by you.
For example, you may want to make sure that nobody in your database had children at the age of 98. Based on common sense, such a record would indicate an error. However, it is not a consistency error in the database. Besides, someone might have a child at the age of 98 (although this rarely happens). The Verify tool will display everything that violates your criteria so that you can check whether the record is erroneous or not. The ultimate decision is yours.
Select this via the menu {{man menu|Tools->Utilities->Verify the Data...}} you will get a {{man label|Database Data Verify Tool}} window. The window has four tabs; {{man label|General}}, {{man label|Women}}, {{man label|Men}}, {{man label|Families}}. Those tabs show a list with criteria and a input field where you can alter the criteria value. In the lists below I show some ''workable'' values.
*'''General''':
