Hi BJ 1 - see Step 2 below 2 - Opens in the same window 3 - Yep looks ok - as per last message to David - C:\Users\DARYL\Documents\Family Tree Maker\File name Daryl in Oz -----Original Message----- From: ftm-tech-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ftm-tech-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of BJ Sent: Wednesday, 26 October 2011 12:26 PM To: ftm-tech@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [FTM-TECH] Open tree in New Window - FTM2012 1 - 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? 2 - 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? 3 - 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? BJ On 10/25/2011 5:43 PM, Daryl Rickards wrote: > Hi again - I still don't have lift off......

OK Thanks, I missed your Step 2. I'm fresh out of ideas about this problem. B On 10/25/2011 6:58 PM, Daryl Rickards wrote: > Hi BJ > 1 - see Step 2 below > 2 - Opens in the same window > 3 - Yep looks ok - as per last message to David - > C:\Users\DARYL\Documents\Family Tree Maker\File name >
