  • FTM 2009 reports

    Does anyone else have this glitch on FTM 2009 individual reports?

    If I go to 'items to include' and want to change the options for a particular fact (eg not putting 'in', or including the description), when I save it the fact name appears twice eg Occupation: Occupation: 1819 etc etc.

    Bit hard to explain but it's driving me potty. I have a horrible feeling I'm going to have to rekey a lot of my data because it seems to be in the wrong fields for FTM 2009 (I started off with FTM 2005).

    Yep it does that on mine too :(

    I too changed from 2005 and I'm slowly going through rekeying data. I do like the space (discription) for putting in extra data. eg: census details for children still with parents I put :
    date: year,
    place: address,
    descrption: with parents
    so I can see everthing at a glance

    Overall I do prefer the 2009 version even though am having to reorganize a lot of data. I think it will be worth it in the end.

    There are one or two other 'glitches', which hopefully they'll put right with further updates.

      That's why I have never upgraded from 2006
      Too many poor programming errors in 2009 for my liking.
      I have never upgraded software, just because it is the latest version and always wait a number of months, to see what problems others who have upgraded get.

      To coin my favourite phrase
