Hank,
I've experienced the same frustration with Family Treemaker since I backup to a Zip
drive. My work around is to use Windows Explorer and copy your files to your external
hard drive.

You can trasnfer the gedcom, but not the program. The program is
required to be on the hard drive so that it can link appropriately to
all the .dll files in the windows subdirectory in order to run the program.

I have all of my genealogy data is on Family Tree Maker version 6. I
have been trying to transfer it from my internal hard drive to my Maxtor external hard
drive. It seems that FTM version 6 interprets the external hard drive as a disk and wont
permit the transfer. Does anyone know if FTM Version 11 or Version 11+ 2005 up date will
allow it? It seems to me that if I could put the entire program and all of my data on a
USB Flash Drive I could give a copy to each of my children, thus avoiding the tack of
putting it all on paper. It would also preserve the data incase my computer crashes.
I would appreciate any help with this project. Thanks you.
