I have had consistent problems with the FTM software scrambling tree data after saving.
I printed out branches of my Tree for hard copy evidence that the data was correctly entered: spouses, parents, children, etc. correctly entered.
I then saved/backed up the project data.
When I re-opened the tree project data at a later time...FTM had scrambled about 5-10% of the connections: children and spouses were missing,
spouses were mixed...even same-sex spouses spliced together. Missing spouses were added as children to a family on a completely different branch.
Printing out the incorrect branches and using the previous, correct, printouts, I was able to edit/correct the generated mistakes.
After carefully checking and printing out new branches and re-checking the tree I then saved the project.
After opening the project, AGAIN...the software had again scrambled data!!!! But the scrambling was applied to different portions of branches than the previous time. It seems that saving a project causes random scrambling of information.
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED...I AM JUST ABOUT TO DUMP FTM...I CAN'T AFFORD THE TIME TO ENTER 500-1000 ENTRIES AND THEN SPEND A WEEK FIXING GLITCHES CAUSED BY THE SOFTWARE.
