I have been using version 9 (2001) and just ordered FTM 2008 the other day. What was it that you did not like about 2008? Chris

The interface, for lack of better way of saying it, was klunky. This link will probably explain it better than I can. By the way I have now ordered the download version of The Master Genealogist-Silver.

However, amy I suggest that before you install it, you make copies of your ver 9 files in a separate folder where FTM won't find them and automatically convert them to the 2008 system. That way, should you find yourself among the ones who don't like it, you can still use your old version. If files get read into 2008, they're saved as such and the only way to go backwards is to make gedcoms. Lesley Robertson
