I'm sorry ... I was thinking you were referring to two different versions of FTM.

I know when I was worried about losing files between FTM versions I duplicated my trees by copying and pasting to a different folder and changing the name slightly, just in case. I'd try to run a copy without fixing and see what happens? Hopefully someone else has other options, it's beyond frustrating when something you've worked so hard on won't run right.

There are some super smart genealogists here who may have an answer:

Thanks for the advice. I guess I will have to wait for my daughter to come next month and help. She jwirr Feb 2014 #4

If no one in the genealogy group can help, maybe you can get help in the computer group. cbayer Feb 2014 #5
