Thanks! Sometimes I miss the good ole DOS days when we memorized keyboard shortcuts.Now, if that index could show birth date as the secondary sort. I tried sorting that index by clicking on the header...

I have been running FTM 2012 on a dual core with 4 gig ram & XP sp3 since it came out. Through all the updates performance has been acceptable on my installation. On a 20k person file, sync and...
View ArticleRe: Is FTM 2012 REALLY slow?
I guess it depends on what you mean by slow. I run it on an older XP machine and, yes, since the new update it does load slowly. But after loading program speed seems normal. I find that sync speed...

I would find this thread more useful if Sturdy2 had advised his computer specs, eg RAM processor type, Windows version and file size.These all have a profound effect on the performance of FTM.Comments...

Well, live and learn. I've never bothered trying to sort by any of the dates although with a one name study I can see the advantages.Sorting's not terribly fast from what I can tell and I haven't found...

I wouldn't hesitate at all to upgrade. Many improvements have been made since 2010.One thing to think about is whether to sync. Due to problems posted here, I don't think it is (still) ready for prime...

My thanks to everyone who responded. It looks like I am the only one with a really slow system after the FTM update so my recent XP install is likely the problem and not the update. Best to all...Sturdy2

Rosemary,What is IIRC? I don't have FTM 2012, so don't understand your reply.How do you "sort" by birth date in FTM 2010 is my basic question.Thanks!
View ArticleRe: FTM 2010 - Index view of people - A question???

I mentioned in a reply to you above. The index that is at the Family Page AUTOMATICALLY uses birth as the secondary sort. The POP-UP index - available through various parts of the program (F-2,...

FTM 2012 is really slow. So much slower than 2010 that I will not use 2012 for my main files. Both versions, same computer, same files, 2012 is slower.Regards,
