I have had my FTM 2005 for quite a while and not had any problems. I have just tried to look at it but I got the message "FTM cannot find your file. Please check 'Directories' and 'Drives' fields to ensure that you are supplying the correct path" Help!!

It sounds as if you have either moved your normal family tree file, or you have recently opened up a file (maybe a gedcom) on another part of your computer - and FTM is having problems locating where your master file is.
Open up Family Tree Maker and click on FILE
At the bottom of the box which opens up you should see a list of the recent files that you have opened. Can you see your master file there. If so click on it and it should open OK.
Come back if you are still having problems!Elaine

Umm!!
On your desktop, at the bottom left hand corner, click on START
Click on FIND
Click on FILES & FOLDERS
and in the top box enter *.FTW
Click the FIND button
This should bring up all of your family tree files and tell you where they are located on your computer.
Can you see your master file there? If so click on it and it should open in Family Tree Maker.Elaine

Pat - if you did a search for files ending with an extension .FTW then they are Family Tree Maker Files, not gedcom files.
A gedcom file would end in the extension .GED
I would suggest that when your son helps you he moves all your Family Tree Maker Files into one folder in My Documents so they are all kept together and so the program will know where it has to look to find the files.Elaine
