Brian, I believe this is because GEDCOM does not handle SW style sources or does not handle them well. I, for one, will not give up the convenience of SW. But then, for now I have no reason to import my database to another genealogy program.

I can remember a few years back when the SW capabilities were first introduced and there was a promised conversion tool but it soon became painfully evident that this tool would never happen and the conversion would have to be done manually, one at a time. And so the conversion back to Basic would be the same path: manually, one at a time. But a side note/question for everybody. Why in the past few months has there been a run to convert back to Basic? Just curious what I’m missing here.
