Hi guys: Maybe I'm just not doing it right and maybe that's the problem. I'm having a problem creating a gedcom . It's being created as follows. Gedcom Export Selected people Decendants of a person (find the person and select them) Copy the selected people now Give the file a name and save it Include sources show details of living people (set to 00 to show all data for everyone) include names of pictures include names of media files export all events OK It creates the ged file and when I pull it back into a test base to view it all the data appears to be there. Only thing is that the picture files and the media files all appear under the picture tab. Should the media still appear under the media tab if things are properly done? Dave Bradshaw

To Dave Bradshaw Gedcom transfers are not perfect. Gedcom is designed to move most of your data to another program. Not everything will transfer exactly as you want it. When importing a gedcom file, BK sees a Picture file and attaches it as a picture. Not all genealogy programs have the same features a BK so the transfer will not be perfect. I never recommend moving data from BK to BK using Gedcom. Always use File, Backup then File, Restore to move from BK to BK.
