Hi Rick, The only piece of advice I have is to run Tools---> Compact File on your FTM file prior to exporting. This checks, and sometimes fixes any data problems that might exist in your FTM file. I believe Compact file is under Tools in all versions of FTM since at least FTM 2006 (v16).
It's similar to Check/Repair in Legacy.

Is there information available on making this move? I know how to export/import GEDCOMs. But is there a list of "best practices" or possible pitfalls to watch out for as I move my files? Thanks in advance for any advice or instructions.
