Thanks Tom, Would this be a backup of his RM 3 files? We were not sure which would work, but certainly his db would be better than a gedcom as we wouldn’t lose as much.

If you still have the RM3 database files, you might actually get better results by importing them directly rather than the GEDCOM.

I opened RM4 and selected import gedcom (other sources) and it pulled in the file! Strange that it would not recognize a previous version of RM, but at least I got it! Nothing like making the old brain work harder!

I have RM4 on my computer, but Win 7 will not let me open his file. When I tell it to open the file from a program installed on my computer, it shows a list of programs, but RM4 is not in the list! I tried importing the gedcom from RM4 but Win 7 refuses to show it to me. Can anyone coach me through this one? Oh, did I say I despise Win 7? Wish I had my XP back, that I understood.
