BJ, Are you saying that you have FTM downloaded onto an iPad? I had no idea that this was possible....or do you have some other way to use FTM on the iPad? I am a real "dummie" about using things like FTM on my iPad. I certainly have lots to learn.

You can run FTM by using the remote controlling feature of windows. in fact I'm writing this message from my home computer but doing everything using my iPad mini. I was able to open FTM 2014 and could enter data just as though I was sitting at it's keyboard. The main disadvantage of using this method is you must leave your computer on while you're not present but it can be done. I think the Windows remote controller may be to difficult for many but I'm using TeamViewer which is really fairly easy to use. I used it to help a fellow researcher in Australia. I was able to do the activities while he watched. you can even include use your webcam to view and talk to each other. It worked out well. Just thought I would mention another alternative. BJ

Read the whole. He is using TeamViewer on his iPad to see and control his PC. Ole 2014-02-07 Beth Bowling <[email protected]>: > BJ, > Are you saying that you have FTM downloaded onto an iPad?
