I believe I have the shareware version running in Windows 8 compatibility mode on a 30 day trial. My German is not that great, so I'm not making a great deal of sense out of the first page I see after the splash page. I'm willing to try importing your files to see what I can do. If you wish me to give it a try, send them to me off the mailing list as it does not allow attachments. I do see where to export to GEDCOM. What is the file extension on the files you are trying to open? Do you know what version of RS-AHNEN the files are from? If you don't know the answers to these questions, it's ok, I can probably figure it out. -- Darlene http://www.dvhh.org/membership/associates.htm#D Connum via DONAUSCHWABEN-VILLAGES wrote: > Thanks, I tried to install the shareware version.
