Hi again - I still don't have lift off...... I shall explain the process I am using, hoping the issue will be clearer - I have two files named BRG and Strays I hope this not too "long winded" and the format is not lost Step 1 - Open FTM2012 from Task Bar File BRG opens Right Click (RC) Strays file in right hand panel - open in new Window FTM initialize banner - panel "Tree does not exist" - click ok New Tree Window appears - RC Strays in right hand panel "open Tree" (not open tree in new window) Strays file opens ok - I now have both BRG & Strays open Step 2 - Close trees (file exit) 1st BRG 2nd Strays Open FTM2012 from Task Bar File STRAYS opens (last one closed above) RC BRG in right hand panel open tree in new window BRG opens ok - - I now have both BRG & Strays open Step 3 - Close trees (file exit) 1st STRAYS 2nd BRG Open FTM2012 from Task Bar File BRG opens (Last one closed) Right Click (RC) Strays file in right hand panel - open in new Window FTM initialize banner - panel "Tree does not exist" - click ok New Tree Window appears - RC Strays in right hand panel "open Tree" (not open tree in new window) Strays file opens ok - I now have both BRG & Strays open So the process at Step 1 repeats itself Step 5 - Compact STRAYS file (reduced by 28%) - Close trees (file exit) 1st STRAYS 2nd BRG Step 6 - Open FTM2012 from Task Bar File STRAYS opens (now this is odd because I would have expected BRG, the last file to be closed) Back to step 2 results Step 7 - Close Trees 1st Strays 2nd BRG Open FTM2012 from Task Bar BRG opens (as expected) RC STRAYS (open in new window) Back to Step 1 - Problem repeats itself.

OK, you can eventually get both files open each in its own window. If you close BRG first and then close Strays last; what happens if you reopen FTM? It should open Strays. Can you then open BRG in a new window? Another question. With BRG open, what happens if you double click on Strays? Does it open in the same window without problems or do you get a message about the file not being found? Finally when you hover the cursor over the Strays entry in the Trees pane, what path do you see in the pop-up dialog box? Does it look correct?
