Title: Family Tree Maker problem
Post by: AmandaJ on Thursday 21 May 15 20:32 BST (UK)

Hi I wonder if anyone can help. I have never had any trouble with the programme before. But I can't type in dates, I can type in names but nothing in dates. I have tried shutting down FTM and starting again and I have tried rebooting PC.

Any advice will be gratefully received. :)

Might be a silly question but can you type numbers elsewhere ie is it the programme or is it the numbers on your keyboard?

I can type numbers into here for example 12345. And can type numbers into word

An obvious one, but have you tried compacting the file?  Its worked for me before when odd little things have happened.
