Re: Sync does not sync corrections/changes

Did you stop the sync there? you may need to tell it to continue, even though it is supposed to continue on its own after x seconds. That notice is in the beginning of the sync, not when it is...

I have been using FTM 2012 for over a year now, and can not find how to switch spouses when in the People Person view. The situation is when working with a person who has married more that once, many...

Re: Children birth order in FTM2012

This may be one of those unhelpful posts in that I just tried this [fixing children out of birth order, syncing, and checking] and didn't have an anomaly; I didn't try it on a lot.Syncing does work...

Re: Sorting Sources in FTM 12

I don't know if this will answer your question about sources, but maybe doing what I do with media might help. Whenever I work on a person I click on their media tab in the right pane. I then click on...

Re: Children birth order in FTM2012

Supposedly, based on previous multiple threads on this topic, showing children NOT in birth order is a "feature" of FTM, based on customer demand.Don't shoot the messenger - I certainly never requested...

Re: Sync does not sync corrections/changes

Thanks for the ideas barbarajfn. I had not stopped the sync at that point, but allowed it to continue. It completed “successfully”, but didn’t make any changes. I had already tried making one minor...
