I did like the way you could get a Descendants report for over 16 generations and wondered if there is any other FTM Proram that would do the same and in that format as in the FTM 2006 Program.

FTM 2008 was a very poor program when it was initially released - if I remember rightly there was a free update and they have gradually improved things over the last couple of years with FTM2009 and FTM2010. A new version, FTM 2011 is due to be released 1st October.
I'm using the 2010 version at the moment and can't really remember what you can and can't do with 2008.
If you click on the PUBLISH icon (top of screen) do you get a list of possible Reports and Charts listed on the left hand side of the screen?
If so click on Genealogy Reports and then select Register Report.
Click the icon on the right - CREATE REPORT
Do you then have a list of options on the right hand side of the screen where you can click the number of generations. You should be able to create a report for as many generations as you want.
Have to say that I think the layout/format of the reports that you can generate through the later versions of the program are better than the ones in FTM2006 - but the charts are definitely not. However, one of the improvements in the 2011 version is apparently better charts .... we will see!Elaine
