Hi John, Russ. The problem definately is the downloading from Ancestry into a *.ftm file.
If anyone else finds this issue, it works if you save your tree from the Ancestry site as a GEDCOM, save it on your PC then load it from there.
The Family Tree Maker 2010 upgrade software is a genuine, but apparently little known programme to upgrade your old version of FTM to 2010 without buying the whole version.
Note sure if this issue is just on the upgrade version only.
Thanks for your comments.
John
