Heather, Yes, only the two names, unable to come forward, file shows nothing. Micheal. Your help is appreciated, you aswell Val. Seems like this is a puzzle to be pondered on another time. |

Sorry Micheal, I'm totally puzzled. Usually you just have to click on the FTM icon and the info you were last working on is there. Heather |

Hi Val, I understand that, but surely when i open all info should be there, i've seached the puter all over, gone through files and folders and the hard drive but nothing. Last night i had to do it all AGAIN. Even done scans for virus/spyware/trojans, spotless. Well spotless as a computer can be. Micheal. |

I'm not very good at this sort of thing but I remember having a problem once and I'm trying to remember what I'd done wrong. Is your programme the full one or the trial version...I think I had the trial version from a magazine, loaded it onto laptop and then entered the saved data from disc and couldn't edit/update it.

Hi I believe it does do a automtic backup when you close the programme, each time |

I have FTM 2005 which i have put on puter ( about 2 weeks now)loaded everything on, got as far back as 1730's on one line, 1850's on the rest, i thought that backing up all that, all would be fine, but no, all that shows is two names from the 1730's, so somewhere i have gone wrong. Three times i've had to rewrite all the info back in, even the back-up shows the same two names. I have followed all the instructions, but it makes no difference, so PLEASE can someone tell me where i;ve gone wrong. Total time doing all the typing must be two days. It's doing my head-in. Micheal. |
