Validation report: Additional data conversion in QWMain started

Question

Every time I do a file validation, it produces "Additional data conversion in QWMain started".  Everything else in the report is clean.  This has been on-going for a couple of years, every time.  What does it mean?  Anything I should or could do?  I am on R52.28 and everything is working well w/o any issues. TIA.

If "everything is working well"  why are you doing a validation … which can, under unusual circumstances, itself cause problems.

And, I'd just ignore that message.  It doesn't appear to convey any useful info.

If all that you're changing is the Data (i.e., between accounts, correct past entry, rollover) I wouldn't bother with a Validation.

I'm unclear as to what you mean by "optimize/improve something", so I can't comment as to whether I'd validate then.

BUT, rather than Validation, I'd take backups prior to anything that might impact the STRUCTURE of Q's data, such as deleting accounts or merging accounts.
