Hi Judy, I have had lots to say about the deficiencies of FTM-20XX over the years. Here is a link to my comments on FTM-2014: http://members.shaw.ca/arnie-krause/ftm_2009.htm#FTM-2014 Look at the previous reports on the earlier version, found in the same page for comments on what is wrong. I still use FTM-16 as my database is over 223,000 persons and FTM-2014 just cannot handle that number of people and have any speed of response. I only use FTM-2014 to see what others have on the family lines that I am searching. Cheers, Arnie ------------------------------------------------------------------- Arnold E.

I'm sure others will chime in as the Western Hemisphere greets the sun. What I'm looking for are specific examples of what doesn't work for you. If I were the programmer (heaven forbid!) what would you ask me to change? What's my punch list? What don't you like about the look of the interface, or the custom report, or whatever it is you don't like? And there's no reason to limit this discussion to v. 16 users. What about those who dumped FTM altogether and went to another program? What pushed you over the edge?

In the beginning, we all felt that v. 2008 was lacking many of the features that we loved in 16. Over the years many improvements and enhancements have been made to succeeding versions and upgrades. As a result, version 2014 is a much more stable, robust, and versatile program than 2008 was. But in spite of the many improvements, there is an bedrock of loyal users of v. 16. One of the reasons often given for sticking with 16 is the reports, but there hasn't been much discussion about why the reports in 16 are better. So I'm asking those who are still using v. 16 to share their opinions. And not just about reports, but if you think there are other ways in which v. 16 is superior. Please give examples, and keep your comments constructive.
