Nudged for Lee Sarah :-)

Gerri, this is the title of Vals thread A BIG help needed please FTM how do I split files ??? I was also going to bed when I added the last message - too knackered to look for it a second time, thats why I just said its originated by Val. If you want to find topics originated by someone you can click on topic originator at the top of the page and then go to a particular name and trawl what they have left. If anyone wants to find a thread they can also enter all or part of a likely title in the search box at the top of the page.

I just got FTM2006 yesterday and cor blimey is it handy!! Best £30 I ever spent. Thing is this morning it just wants to crash and i dunno why *sniff*

I do wish you girls n boys would put the 'topic header' when your helping on here, as I come in at all hours of the night from work and find the bumped up thread lost and no where near the thread in question! Pleae please! put the title of the thread? Gerri x

I bumped it up for you yesterday! Its a topic started by Val.

THanks Heatrher will have a look tomorrow, as it's really late now Bit busy and didn't check your answer, sorry Let you know how I get on Regards Linda

Yes it is possible, there is a thread somewhere on how to do it - though you could press your help button on the program to find out, sometimes its easier in lay terms! Ill see if I can nudge it up.

Can anybody who uses FTM tell me if it is possible to send one part of the tree to another GR member, only the name they are linked to. They don't need all my family too or the fathers family . Using simple language if anyone can help please. Many thanks Regards Linda

I think someone said Play.com has it cheapest at the mo?

Hi Kathlyn I had mine from TWR computing but I think they may have changed their name. If you google familytreemaker...it's the first site on the list. It might be a good idea to google around though and see if you can get it cheaper. Heather

I am computer illiterate, well almost, so please how do I get this FTM. Kathlyn

Hi Gwen, I haven't used your programme so can't really comment as to whether familytreemaker is better......it just happened to be the one I found in the shop so I've stayed with it. There's a familytreemaker website if you'd like to see what it does at www.familytreemaker(.)com Heather

Hi Heather Thanks, the package I have has Gedcom file but never used it. Would it be easy to do and would it be worth it is this FMT that good that I should change. Gwen

Hi Gwen If you can export a gedcom from your software it should be ok. Heather

If I bought this program would it be easy to transfer all my information across. At present it is in generations starter kit version 8 UK easy tree. Family tree maker sounds great and cheaper than the package I bought. Gwen

Brill tread

Well slap my wrist, Babs :}

Heather stop putting on this thread about the charts;; I have started a thread like you said to see if anyone can give us tips;; you are suppose to be able to do alsorts with it calenders ect;; we will have to wait for all the brainy ones to come on;; Babs

Heather It has pretty charts but I prefer the standard descendant tree chart on FTM. Heather

Still bleedin looking through all the boxes piled up in my room (we are redecorating/plastering etc.). Im sure there was an extra cardboard flappy thing with something in. Ooops, just seen your message - wonder if mine is on there too? What do you use it for Babs - dont they have enough options for trees on the FT prog already? Its a good job weve got each other!
