I am quite pleased with TMG5 as well. I can wait on the reports since I
haven't gotten far enough to produce anything final. I have been using TMG4
and FTM simultaneously for a few years and it is quite a pain to have to
enter data in both programs to keep them up to date. Now that TMG is
finally a 32-bit program I too can retire FTM. I can't imagine using three
or four different programs. Using two was bad enough especially when adding
the photos.

I am going to primarily stick with TMG now and also dump FTM. TMG is more
professional and I'd love to learn all the technical aspects of it to get
more from it.

Well - I did it. And I'm quite happy to wait. Admittedly, I was
surprised to discover that it had reduced functionality.

From what I have already discovered about TMG, it has already allowed me
to junk FTM (huge sigh of relief!), will most likely let me drop UFT
(assuming I can get a full database report) and will soon supercede
Generations as my main data-entry machine (despite having, I maintain, a
poorer user interface). I.e. I junk three packages and take on something
a WHOLE lot better. That's worth waiting for.

Of course I'd love to see the reports, but these are not all that
critical at the moment.

P.S. I DO have TMG V4 as well - but that I binned as soon as I
discovered it couldn't handle long file names and couldn't import from
Generations.
