Having a copy of your FTM file not of much use, unless you have access to FTM the program it's self.

Hello David, Thank you for your ideas, but that is part of my del ma. My file has 2,000 + media connected to it, as I include all copies of proof connected to the fact. I was planning to just be able to 'carry a copy' of my file on the device, and could not garantee network access at all centres. Enjoy life. Never promise, but will always try.

Now that FTM 2012is out, all one needs to do is upload their FTM file to Ancetsry.com trees. Then all one needs to have is access to the internet. This can be by any computer or other device that supports access to Ancestry.com trees. The file can be made "Private" so that ONLY you the "Author" has access and/or you and those that YOU give permission to. I would hope that you do NOT have a lot of images within your FTM file as the will reduce the performance on the online upload.

I keep my FTM data file and its associated media folder in Dropbox. I can access my data on any machine that has Internet access and the right version of FTM installed. This method assures that the data on all machines stay in sync.
