Linda, From your message below, I see that you mean that the new Temple Ready program works as it should in making a temple submission disk, but that the information from that disk won't copy itself into FO to update the submission records in FO. You also indicate that Temple Ready still uses the short names "Jrive" and FO (version 9.x) uses long names, "Jordan River". Do you know if the new "Temple Ready" program is a 16 bit or a 32 bit program? I don't believe that the 16 bit programs are capable of doing long filenames. Perhaps the problem is that FO has moved on in it's progression ( to 32 bit) and the new Temple Ready program is being held back as a 16 bit program to be compatable with the Personal Ancestral File program. I'm not smart on this, but if that's is the case, it may be that a person might have to go back to an older (16 bit) version of FO, or the LDS software will need to be upgraded to 32 bit. But that's the nature of the whole computer industry. It's like a bunch of frogs crossing from one side of the road to the other. The don't all move together. Some takes long hops and some takes short hops, and all don't land in the same place at the same time They are just trying to get to the other side of the road without getting run over and squashed. As I said, I don't know what is what in this. I may be all wet. I'm just making some assumptions based on what you said below about the length of the names of the Temples.

Hi Jim, Bruce, I hope you are listening too!! You are right about the length of names, but I do not think LDS is going to change that--they have used that for years. If any changes are made it will have to be from the others who write their software. To use the 'Update My Records' feature on the new Temple Ready for Windows you use a backup, not ged.com. Try it next time you're there. It could be such a help to us who don't have the time to input all those dates. I even tried dumping it into PAF and then into the program. No go. The temple names don't change and it won't talk to me--error message every time. Rats!! Linda "Friends are God's way of taking care of us."
