Hi,in my old version of FTM I used to be able to produce a generational report showing all the descendants from one person with all the facts and notes. I have just installled FTM 2008 and cant find this ability. Am I being dense or has this feature gone?
Thanks

I have 2010 and they are in there. Under Publish, then Collection, then select the type of report. In fact I have just created on that you descrice and emailed it to another GR member.

I read that some of the reports were missing in 2008, so you might have to upgrade, probably worthwhile exercise anyway as 2008 was the first release of this software and had a number of problems which were resolved in the later releases.

I have FTM 2008. When I first used the program, there was a patch available that gave more options in publish. If you go to the 'Help' tab, you will see a .check for updates' option. Click that and see if it is still avialable.

Thanks, I clicked on help and it said there were no updates. I must have a copy that has the report missing- I am so disappointed as it was a really useful document to send to people. Thanks for all your help
