Thank you, Mike, especially for pointing out that I have more information than that stored in the gedcom file and also for the suggestion to install FH 5.0.9 on the old PC to make things easier. Kind regards Jane -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Beryl & Mike Tate Gesendet: Montag, 24.

Then you can use the "Backup And Restore Family Historian Settings" Plugin to assist with the move from PC to PC. The point to be aware of is that there is more to FH than just the GEDCOM file. As Jane says, the Project folder contains more than just the GEDCOM, as it also has all your Multimedia files, etc... Also any customised Diagram, Report, Query, and other settings are stored elsewhere. BTW: You do NOT have to install any earlier versions before installing FH V5 on your new laptop. You just need your FH V4 and FH V5 Licence Keys. The FHUG http://www.fhug.org.uk Knowledge Base has advice on that topic as well.

Would this work or would I have to go another route? I would recommend copying your complete PROJECT folder and not just Gedcom files. There is a useful article in the Knowledge base which covers moving to a new computer which I recommend you review. http://www.fhug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=how_to:move_settings Jane. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
