I have at present FH V4.1.3 and because I have come to this version via V2.07 with the V3 upgrade and the V4 upgrade CDs I decided to order the full boxed V5 to make any subsequent re-install less complicated. My question is when V5 arrives will I need to uninstall my present program before installing V5 or can I just install V5 over the top of my present version so to speak? If it is of any relevance I have Windows 7 64bit operating system. Many thanks, Margaret North.

If you're installing the full version, there's no need to uninstall the previous version. Just run the installation program for the full version. It will detect your existing installation and install itself 'over the top' of it as you say.

Hi Simon V5 sounds great. I will certainly get it . As you may remember (most recently my email of 5 Feb 2011), I still tend to work in Pedigree (old habits die hard), convert to GEDCOM 5.5 via Peditree and import into FH4. Works very well with a little bit of re-configuring (eg NAME to TITLE). FH4 was a huge improvement over earlier versions for Pedigree users. Just thought I would ask if FH5 has any further improvements specific to Pedigree/Peditree. I won't be surprised if your answer is "no", but you have surprised me before with V4, so just thought I would ask! Regards Ralph Atherton

Hi Simon,   My cousin and I share the family tree by emailing it back and fourth, currently we are both on the same version,  I know she purchased a more upto date version sometime ago but yet to install.  If we are not using the same version one being older than the other, and we then send the tree back and fourth via email.  Will all remain compatiable the tree is fairly large, but not so large that it cannot still be sent by email.   Cheryl
