Would anyone know how I can move information from my tree program on the PC to my program on my Laptop without having to retype all the information as it takes so long. I did have a go at it but the file on my family came out only as a read file only ??? Thank you Sheba53:o

I am not familiar with Family Tree 11 but you will have at least one or more options:
1. Export your tree to a GedCom file and then import it using Family Tree on the laptop.
2. Copy the actual database that Family Tree uses to the laptop -- this could be more complicated but also more complete.
3. It may also have a backup and restore option you could use.
I am sure someone who has Family Tree Maker 11 will be able to be more specific, but in essence it is possible.David.

Have a look at the folliwng link, it may help:

When you come to import the file into the programme on your laptop you'll most likely see an import option.
'Read Only' - Try right clicking on the file icon, select properties and look for for a 'Read Only' field. If it's ticked untick it. See if that makes any difference.Last edited by Guest; 29-06-09, 10:30.

Re Family Tree
I am using the same fam tree ver 11 on my laptop also. I did burn the infomation on to a cd. Even did a copy as a backup file thinking that would be easy by just going to the restore backup button on the laptop. No good.... I realize it is something so very simple but with your help I know I will get it. thank you. Sheba53

RE:Family Tree
What can I say to all my new friends but thank you so much for your advice. I did a backup copy of my file and took it to my mem stick and over to my laptop. Got a bit mixed up there but took a deep breath and read the information I was given and to my surprise all 2150 names were there. No having to type them all in. Now I will just add new info to both treesas I get them. Again many thanks to you all. ;)
