Have been using FTM for 15 years and the last 2 years have been very disappointing. I have issues with the Calendar.
Some of these issues are:
Can’t change fonts.
Does not print all names even though they are entered correctly. (Previous versions printed 2 pages of the same month when names or anniversaries overflowed the date.) 2009 and 2010 versions print one page only and drops any names and anniversaries that don’t fit. Try and figure that out when you have over 3000 names.
When you go to save the calendar it won’t save it properly. I only wanted to have certain names and anniversaries on my calendar and I saved each month separately. When I went back into the calendar it reverted to the default which is to include every name and anniversary (living people only). I have had to go to “legal” size paper to make the names fit and I am not sure they all are there even doing that.
When you try and exclude someone from the calendar it is very time consuming and some of the functions do not work at all.
Some anniversaries show up even though one spouse is deceased and the proper box is checked on the options.
Occasionally a maiden name will print rather than a married name even though the proper box is checked on the options.
I had most of these issue with the 2009 version and I was unable to get them resolved through emails with customer service. I wrongly assumed that the 2010 version would correct at least some of these flaws.
I told the customer service person that I though they had a disgruntled programmer.
I am now looking for any other software that will let me download my information without having to re-enter the over 3000 names and other information I have.

I keep getting conflicting information about this issue. The fact is, at least in MY case, FTM 2010 does NOT work with Windows 7. I purchased the product, after researching that it was SUPPOSED to work with 7, but lo, two months later (surprise!), when I upgraded to 7, FTM no longer works, neither in it’s “native” form, or even when I ask windows to run in “compatability” mode. Nothing I seem to be able to do to make it work.
What I am wondering, is why you would introduce a product like this, just weeks from the introduction of the next, “trouble free” version of Windows, and claim that it WOULD work. From what I am reading on your site and others, I am not alone in this problem. If there is a patch, why can it not work without opening FTM 2010, WHICH WILL NOT OPEN IN WINDOWS 7?????

I have been using FTM since version 8. Each version is better then the last. This one has some great features. Some of my favorites are the timeline report, maps and links to mycanvas (projects online). FTM makes it easy to collect and organize information. It also makes it easy to share that information with my family. I can print up pretty pages and charts which everyone loves to have a copy of. I love how easy it is to customize the reports / projects to suit my needs. FTM has helped me trace my family back over 5 generations and connect with distant family members around the world.

Having just started working on my genealogy I found an instant problem with compiling the many different people and generations. I decided to try Ancestry’s Family Tree Maker because it offered a three month membership to [...]. It has been worth every penny. It is easy to learn and very user friendly. Finding people is a snap and adding new ones is very easy. All the additional features such as media storage, merging facts from the internet, and printing reports are great. This is a must have for anyone interested in organizing family information.Family Tree Maker 2010 Deluxe

I have been using FTM in various versions for almost 20 years, since the old DOS based in the distant past. Recently my old XP box died and I got a new HP with win 7. I tried to load the FTM version 16, but it wouldn’t work, so I put in the new FTM 2010 version and loaded two of my family files. First warning: you can’t go back. It is not backwardly mobile, so you have to stay with 2010. Second big warning: it progressively crashes on win 7. Called “support” people x3. First call: compress the file. Didn’t work. Then, re-install after clean backup. I never in 20 years had to do this or install from safe mode, so why now on a brand new machine? Just try it, and hung up. Checked the box, no driver conflicts. Second call, insisted on clean backup. Tried it, didn’t work. Third call. File is corrupt. Export the file as a GEDCOM, then re-install and put back the media files. Small problem: the file has 11,513 individuals and about 20,000 media files. Shouldn’t take more than 3-6 months to put every thing back. Big whoop.
So I simulated the program to think it was running on XP sp3, and it runs. OMG. File isn’t corrupt after all. Just doesn’t run very well on the OS it’s advertised for. My best guess: FTM knows that it’s program isn’t ready for prime time, and has told it’s support people not to acknowledge it and send them on endless wild goose chases. So the buyers get to flounder around, while FTM hopes they give up and go away. And pockets the $.
Very bad.
