I went to different classes than you did, so my blog post has a different take. I just switched from FTM 2006 to FTM 2009 in December, and so far so good. I'm still finding new things to do, and I also went to that last class on Saturday about the 2010 version and I think my version does most of what Tana demonstrated. I have a file with 80,000 names, which is why I had to switch. My FTM 2006 was crashing with that many names, so I had a much larger hard drive installed and upgraded to FTM 2010. Everything transferred safely (sources, photos, etc.) so I'm happy for now...Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7322112695675778148.post-16129263724691975142010-02-21T10:42:04.841-05:002010-02-21T10:42:04.841-05:00Kathy,
Sounds like a informative day.
Now, I do ...Kathy,<br /><br />Sounds like a informative day.<br /><br />Now, I do NOT use FTM, so, I may misunderstand how it stores photos and such that you attach to your data base. That is my little disclaimer, here is how I like it:<br /><br />I use RM (still on version 3, have not done the update/upgrade to 4, yet)<br /><br />What I like about how RM addresses the attached digital files is that they are NOT attached to RM. You store your files/photos/docs in directories/subdirectories on your hard drive NOT in RM.<br /><br />So, you have to tell RM where you have stored the doc or photo, or PDF file, or Video, or sound bite file. RM then accesses the file from the storage directory when you want to view (or listen) to it.<br /><br />Benefit, IF I would crash RM, it would not take my digital files with it to computer heaven (or H%@).<br /><br />I have in excess of 16,000 individuals and a little over 7500 digital files attached to them. Knock on wood, and the genie angels, I have not had any problems.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11754623831815018924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7322112695675778148.post-43466894687153818962010-02-21T10:33:48.931-05:002010-02-21T10:33:48.931-05:00Hi Kathy,

I guess you know, I decided at the last minute not to attend, but I only lost $30.Barbara Poolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07440544740334032378noreply@blogger.com
