I had upgrades version 4.0 to version 5.0 and could not read files from earlier versions. I believe it was 6.0 when they started leting you save your files in eailer versions. I had version 5.0 and wanted to read a family file and a gedcom someone sent me but the eailer versions would not let me read them. I had to upgrade to use 6.0 files. Even when they saved it in my version 5.0 my 5.0 would not read the file or the gedcom. I called familytreemaker abt the problem and they told me I needed to upgrade because I only bought the upgrades and never bought the whole 5.0 program. The new 6.0 upgrade changed all that. ==== SCROOTS Mailing List ==== Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
