Thanks for the quick response. Also is it true you can only get TMG on
line. I tried all of the stores and no luck.

Again, thanks for help.

to decide which is better. I have the 9 version in FTM. I am running into
roadblocks now. I am wondering if there is any problem that anyone has had
transferring to TMG from version 9 FTM. I have so much 30 years info into
this file and don't want to lose any of it. I have heard this is an
excellent program, but so was FTM when I first started using it years ago.
Any help would be appreciated. You can email me off line if you want.
