Gordon, Generally problems with images in FTM 16 indicates that you have a large number of images in your file or several very large images. You can reduce the size of your images or store them elsewhere, outside of FTM. (In any event, you should always have your images stored somewhere else besides FTM.) As your file grows, this can continue to be a problem. You best alternative is not to store your images in your FTM file and only bring in what you need when you are creating a book or a report that includes images.

Ideas anyone? Regards, Gordon, using FTM16 and 2 gigs RAM
