Chasers, Several folks have asked me to forward any help I got about exporting GEDCOM's in FTM. I apologize for cluttering our list with this. But since Keith Hume is working hard to get our CHASE page up with our data it does seem relevant right now. I welcome any additions or corrections! Hi Molly, Yes, I think you were the one that had asked after I did for someone to help with that. I was going to forward whatever I was able to find, but so far I still don't have a completely satisfactory answer. I've had an awful time with it, even though I've been using FTM for several years. Here's what I understand so far: You can send your entire GEDCOM as an attachment in an email. Assuming that you've already got your file saved somewhere as GEDCOM, you just hit your attachment button on your email program and it will pull up a search box. Then you can find your file and select it. If you don't know how to save your file as GEDCOM, here's how. While you have your file opened in FTM, go up under File and click on Copy/Export Family File. This will bring up a dialog box. At the bottom of the box is a Save As Type field. Click on the arrow to see the different types of files you can save as. You'll want to select GEDCOM. Now just click on Save and you're file will be saved as GEDCOM. It's icon will look like a little tree. This is the file you'll choose when you're doing your attachment. What I was really wanting was how to separate certain branches of my file. I have selected Gen Report to do an ancestor or descendant report for a certain person. Then you can do a Copy/Export the same way you did before except that you can't save your Gen Report in GEDCOM format. It has to be either .txt or .rft. If you save it as .txt you can attach it to an email, but your recipient can't plug it in to his genealogy program. It's just a text report. I hope this has been at least a little helpful. If I hear more I'll pass it along! Jan
