Thanks Elaine, I cant see that I got a freebie upgrade - it must just be a patch of some sort.

nudged for Heather

I had a update sent last night, some sort of patch, and after I had downloaded it, and carried on doing some more racking about on tree, I found a census to a brother of 3XG. Grandad and when I stored it to his name in added his wife and family automatically to my FTM;;so good saving of doing by hand;;; Babs

Thanks again Elaine. I think I will stick with what I have got and leave the upgrade.

From the TWR computing website Please note that the free download upgrade to v16 will not work on any of the Family Tree Maker 2006 UK, Australian or German editions. It only works on the Family Tree Maker 2006 international flatpack version 13.0.281. That is why we are offering all of the options above so that you have the choice between Family Tree Maker version 2006 and the latest Family Tree Maker v16. If you have FTM 2006 UK, Australian or German editions and move to FTM v16, the websearch buttons will search on ancestry(.)com, not on your local Ancestry website. To receive the free download upgrade to v16 from the FTM 2006 international flatpack 13.0.281, click on the 2006 Help menu and select Check For Update. Alternatively set Family Tree Maker to automatically check for updates while loading by clicking on the File menu, Preferences, General tab, and check the box 'Automatically check for update when connected to the Internet'. # Bug fixes Some minor bugs in Family Tree Maker 2006 have been fixed. # Individuals To Include in Source Usage Report The new Individuals To Include allows you to focus the report right down to an individual, date or date range as in other Family Tree Maker reports. You can now tailor your Source Usage Report to include only what you wish to focus on. There is also a new 'Hide master sources with no citations associated with them' option that makes the report a more manageable size. # Type Ahead search in the Find Master Sources list This facility now works correctly, drilling down the list automatically as you type -- not just going to the first letter as before. # Edit Button in Master Source area This is an additional Edit button that takes you directly to a New Master Source dialogue box assisting you to quickly add a new master source to your list. # Extra protection against file corruption when you export Family Tree Maker 2006 files to previous Family Tree Maker file formats # Updates in the notes section for Windows 98 users

Thanks Elaine

I saw something about this yesterday on the web but it mentioned that version 16 is an international package. I´ll see if I can find the info and come back to you.

When I start up my FTM 2006 I am being prompted to download an updated version. Has anyone else, who uses FTM 2006, had a prompt that there is an update available. It seems to want to update to version 16.0.350. Has anyone updated and is it OK. I am very wary about downloading anything like this. Thanks
