Its OK now I have managed. Probably overthought what I had to do.

Ive copied it back to my documents folder.

I did have it in my documents folder before. What do I do next please.

This is driving me mad. New laptop has arrived. Ive installed Version 6 on my old computer over the top of version 5 That's OK. Ive installed Version 6 on my new laptop That's OK. I copied the entire Family Historian Projects folder from my old PC onto a USB pen drive memory stick. That's OK. BUT wh...

Many thanks, will let you know how I get on.

Sorry I'm just getting back.

When I purchase Version 6 and download will it just install over the top of my current Version 5? I've been reading and rereading the steps to take from the Knowledge base and my brain is nearly there.

Thanks again for your advice.

Many thanks for responding. See if I've got this right. When new laptop comes I install FH from my Version 4 and Upgrade Version 5 discs; then migrate my projects over to new laptop. Then when that is all sorted; purchase and download Version 6 to my new laptop. Will I then have to migrate my projec...

I currently use Version 5 which was updated from Version 4. I still have the discs and Key Numbers. I am shortly to buy a new laptop and thought I would buy the disc of Version 6. My question is - Will I be able to transfer my projects from my old computer over to the new computer running Version 6?...

Many thanks for your response and information about which backup to use.

Kind regards - Linda

I wish to swap from the one which shows up in displayed trees/ documents etc. to another. I appreciate it i...

Good Morning, pleased to say that disc for FH5 and book "Getting the most from FH5" arrived this morning. I've installed the upgrade and updated software to 5.0.9. Started from scratch to export a couple of files from FTM and all went well. I've deleted the old projects for these two trees so now ha...

Thanks tatewise. It was those instructions I followed to the letter. As Jane says I shall wait until my upgrade to FH5 disc comes, will then update it and retry. Thank you for responding.

Thank you Jane. Will let you know what happens. Kind regards

From their I have imported the file Gedcom 5.5 into FH 4.1 but although there are lists of photographs they have no title or location. I ha...
