Thanks to you and Mark for this. I sent Glen the basic gedcom and it opened fine (except it didn't like my dates--probably the ones I put in angle brackets).

Go to Customize on the GEDCOM export screen and you will see Basic listed. Someone from the Legacy list about a year back had to use Basic to transfer his file to an older verison of FTM (maybe 6 or 7) to print wall charts. The advanced fields used in the Legacy file affected opening of the default and GED 5.5 files in FTM. A file with basic data entry was okay in the same version of FTM with no location notes and fewer source details if I remember correctly. FTM 7 allowed alternate names in 1999 and FTM 5 allowed alternate events in 1998. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Coleen Christensen" > How can I get more basic than the gedcom 5.5? > And is there a particular version of FTM where there is a change in > behavior? If so, which one?
