I also find it very clunky and backwards and forwards all over the place to use. I'm not impressed at all and since transferring, have found many complaints about it all over the net. I won't be recommending to anyone that's for sure nor will i be updating with FTM in the future, which is a shame because it's what i've used and felt confident with up until now [i've been using since the very first versions]. My main file has over 12000 individual and it's made life a nightmare having to check every single fact and all the notes after i produce trees [i get lots of queries on line for hundreds of names], to ensure that i amend the information before i save as files to send. I have my old version and files still saved under that too, but inputted a lot of information after i updated to 2009 so i'm going to have to suss out what i did and i think i'll be going back to V16. Hope you sort your data problem out! Merry Christmas to you too :-) Sandy www.sarndra.com
