Also, I would suggest, not 2010, as it is not 'old' but Version 2011. Again, you will probably see the other "stuff" that make up the Deluxe / Platinum bundle.<br /><br />Hope that helps,<br /><br />RussCousin Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326890362591254874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7431320127509797635.post-85049729397834585202011-02-11T10:42:39.983-05:002011-02-11T10:42:39.983-05:00I am looking to buy Family Tree Maker 2010 for my ...I am looking to buy Family Tree Maker 2010 for my husband, but I can't tell if I need the Deluxe or Platinum edition, or if the standard version is sufficient. Since I don't do this stuff much, I'm not sure if the 'extras' in the other editions are something that would be useful or not.Brad Fallonhttp://www.freelinereport.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7431320127509797635.post-48159947723707007312010-08-21T23:01:47.611-04:002010-08-21T23:01:47.611-04:00Anonymous -- First, I am sorry that you didn't...Anonymous -- First, I am sorry that you didn't sign your comment, so that I can answer your comment by name. That way I know who I am trying to help.<br /><br />Where was the file, where you were able to enter a date with "th", "rd", etc? Weren't there error messages there?<br /><br />Does Legacy allow for such dates?<br /><br />Did you generate a GEDCOM file from Legacy and open that in Family Tree Maker?<br /><br />In the long run, trying to ignore that date entry issue, you may not be happy with any results in Charts or Trees.<br /><br />If you did use the GEDCOM format, you might find a way to do a Global Find and Replace to edit the GEDCOM before opening it in Family Tree Maker. You may also have to Save that Edited file as a plain text file, with the GED file extension.<br /><br />RussCousin Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326890362591254874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7431320127509797635.post-19111775142161367072010-08-21T21:20:42.149-04:002010-08-21T21:20:42.149-04:00I was using legacy family tree maker with no probl...I was using legacy family tree maker with no problems but decided to go with FTM2010...well I'm hoping after a little while I won't feel so lost with this program, but back onto the topic, I wish I didn't have to fix the 1499 errors I got when I imported my ancestry tree from online to FTM...my mistake, I simply put dates as "th" "rd" and "nd" all orignally from my legacy tree.<br />I'm now trying to find something that tells me I can ignore the errors and get them put back in my tree the way they were.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7431320127509797635.post-73915847590052485802010-05-21T12:17:45.046-04:002010-05-21T12:17:45.046-04:00Marc,

Ancestry.com is forcing us users to correct all of these "errors" when importing or merging. If Ancestry followed the standard like all other VARs should do importing and merging gedcoms received from other family members would be a painless and more important correct process.marc tibesarhttp://tibesar.comnoreply@blogger.com
