My take on what Sue said is that FTW ver 6 or earlier cannot open an .ftw database made by FTW version 7 or 8. But then you would not expect any program to be able to open a file from a newer version. I think her point was that the most viable solution when someone is sending you an .ftw file is to help your friend with FTW learn how to make a gedcom file with his/her program. Wayne League
