Gilbert, To export your database to a GEDCOM file: Click the "Export GEDCOM" button on the toolbar or do "file, GEDCOM, Export GEDCOM" from the main menu. FO will bring up the standard Windows file save dialog where you can enter the name you want to give your GEDCOM file (make a note of which folder you are saving the file to so you can find it later to email it). Once you enter a file name, FO will bring up an options dialog for the GEDCOM file you want to create. Select the options you want (i.e. Export entire database and Destination General) then click OK. To email the GEDCOM file, simply your email program with the file as an attachment to your email.
