RootsMagic 5 will not import a RootsMagic 4 database. It will open one, It will restore a RootsMagic 4 backup. But it will not import a version 4 database. If you OPEN a RootsMagic 4 database with RootsMagic 5 it will be converted so that you can nlonger open that file with RootMagic 4. So if you want to use the file in RM4, make a copy to open with RM5 within a new RM5 folder or restore the RM4 backup with RM5 into a different folder than the one in which RM4 database is stored. The only way I can think of where the RM4 sources wouldn't be transferred through a GEDCOM file to RM5 would be if you had unchecked the SOURCES when you were creating the GEDCOM file.
