Elaine, if you are worried about losing any of the information from the file you delete, can you put the file on a CD? I am not sure about this; however, you might ask Joao Ventura, he uses FTM. Celeste

I can split and upload to Ancestry.com but thats not what I need to do.

In transferring the info, the file on the mini said it could not open and copy because there was a file open. I do not know what they are talking about as there is no file open as far as I am concerned so that is my first problem. In the meantime, it let me open and copy and called the new file by same name No. 2 So now I have 2 FTW family files the old one without the updated info and the new one with all the new info I had input into my laptop and they are both now on my mini. I know this occupies a lot of space to have 2 and am considering the deleting first one and keeping the 2nd but am a little hesitant to do so. I cannot figure out what they mean that there is a "file open" on the first one when we tried to open and replace (1) instead of open and copy (2).
