	I know you can do this Linda, but I don't know how. My son has done it with my tree on FTM2005, but I leave the technical stuff to him. Kath. x

	hiya Lindy, if you goto, file and export file, (entire) this will allow you, to make a copy and store it in my documents, you shoud be able then, to send it via, mail or messenger, and import it back into FTM when it is installed on another machine. HTH Julie
