No, it means FTM doesn't know that 5.5.1 is newer than 5.5. FTM just checks for 5.5 and assumes anything different is older. - Bruce http://www.rootsmagic.com On Thu, Dec 6, 2012 at 4:45 PM, David E.

Huh? You're kidding. Somehow, based on my own minimal knowledge of FTM I am not surprised, but is there any sort of a "workaround" or will it work in a newer version of FTM or are they all "mathematically challenged" along with 2009? Add that as ANOTHER reason I've been using FO and/or RM so long, but I better not go there. :-( David E.
