Hank,
Use windows explorer to Copy / Paste your Family File (<filename>.FTW) from your C
drive to your thumb drive. Then, Open Family Tree Maker and click on File, Open, navigate
to your thumb drive. You may be able to work on your family file that way. I haven't
tried to work on my file that way, but do use a thumb drive to get a file from one PC to
another.

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.
