Thanks Trevor, I have yet to investigate everything that FH can do - I'm pretty new to it. I've been using Family Tree Maker for years, but I really don't like the newer versions. FH is a bit of a steep learning curve, but much more to my liking then the latest FTM. I already back up everything to numerous locations so that bit's sorted.

There is loads of advice and tutorials for newcomers in the FHUG Knowledge Base. (FHUG is much more than just Forums.)

I've had a quick look this afternoon, but I'll read in more depth tomorrow. Lots to learn!
