V4 would replace your current V2.3.1 on your machine. Your FH GEDCOM and media files would remain intact. V4 gives you the option of reorganising your files into V4 'Projects', bringing al your FH files into a common folder structure, which I'd strongly recommend (it makes backup and recover easier, for one thing). You would then be eligible for the V5 upgrade, which would change V4 to V5. You would no longer have V2.3.1 anywhere (other than on the now redundant installation discs).

I have a much earier version of Family Historian (I have Version 2.1.8 with upgrade disc to 2.3.1). If I wanted to buy boxed Version 4 - how would this affect my current version? Would this then accept the 'Free CD upgrade to Version 5'? ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to FAMILY-HISTORIAN-USERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message _____ avast! <http://www.avast.com> Antivirus: Inbound message clean.
