Tim, I have a question. Someone sent me a file on the Sextons that was a FTM file and I couldn't open it for nothing. I use Family Tree Maker but it wouldn't open it. What was I doing wrong? It kept saying that the file was corrupt.

It may be corrupt or they sent you a file created with a later version of FTM than you have. Hopefully it is the later. ...tim...
