Thanks Ronni, Mike and Steven for your help.
V10 impresses immediately with its much improved display.

Hi Ian,
Thanks Mike, I just returned home and was about to reply telling Ian, he hasn't
moved on to Step 7.
Which I had in my previous email ;-)
6. A window titled "Upgrade Family File" will appear. You'll be asked to
name the new, converted family file.
7. Click Convert and Reunion will create a NEW, version 10 family file and
open it for you.
Your old family file will not be changed in any way.
The information in your new family file will be the same as the information in
your old family file.
Another thing though, why has Ian moved his family file to the desktop?
All my Reunion 9 files are in a Folder named 'Reunion Files' in Documents.
Cheers,
Ronni
