I have a copy of FTM2006 and a copy of FTM2010 on my RI computer.  Back from the winter in TX, I am trying to upload the work I did on FTM2010 from a flashdrive to my RI computer. It keeps going to the FTM2006 version.

Thanks for any help.

Judy,

Are you trying to work on your Family File that's on your Flash Drive? If so, you would open Version 2010 on your RI PC, then click on File, Open, and select the file on your Flash Drive. I can't tell, for sure, it that is what you are trying to do.

Only a comment about the Flash Drive. I would NOT suggest that you keep your Working Family File on your Flash Drive, but only use the Flash Drive to move the file from one PC to another. I would further suggest that you use the File, Back Up command and back up to the Flash Drive, then File, Restore on the "other" PC.

Does that help?

Thank you so much, Russ. I used to email my files as an attachment when I left one place for the other. It is now too big to do that so this year I tried the flash drive as a vehicle to move them.
You are the answer to an old lady's prayers when it comes to FTM and computer knowledge.
Sending you a big hug!!
Judy
Judy,

Yup, Flash Drives are good for this purpose. I just don't consider them as a good safe place for my files nor a back up. But good for transferring files.

You are most welcome. Glad to be able to help.

Good luck,

Russ
