FH on a USB flash drive

Post by **Guest** » 05 Aug 2005 13:13

Hi all

I'm thinking about moving the FH, but I'd like to know if it's possible to get it working on a USB flash drive as I like to have my data portable. I currently use GSP Family Tree, which is pretty crude, but will work on a flash drive.

Many thanks

Obviously you can store your data on a flash drive, but running the program direct from the drive may have issues as the program uses the registry and the windows application data directory to store configuration and non file specific information.

Hi,
I have a copy of FH on both my laptop and PC and store the data on a USB flash drive. This works well with all the data typed in.
However, having created custom events/attributes, on one system, when opening the data in the other system, these new events/attributes are not listed even though tree members' data shows these event/attributes.
Is there a way of migrating these custom events/attributes without having to re-create them on the second system?

Marion, just use the export/import option on the FH menu to export the Fact Sets to your key drive and then import them to your other computer.
