Family Tree Maker and search option
« on: Sunday 09 June 13 09:07 BST (UK) »
Hi All
I have been using Family Tree Maker for some years now and last week the search function has stopped displaying anything!
It used to work showing all the hints etc when you clicked on  a green leaf icon!
But all that has stopped just get a blank area, you do get a couple of hourglass icon show as if its trying to do something but nothing appears.
Anyone any ideas I've tried all the  options I can find and search for answers but no joy!

I have the latest version.
It appears to have happened  after one of Microsoft's 'upgrades' not that bothered as I don't have an Ancestry subscription at the moment, just plain annoying.
The hints were sometimes useful though!

Maybe it's because you don't have a membership  ???

It worked fine for 6months since my sub lapsed, I'm convinced its an
'upgrade' by MS.
The link must be working to a degree as the green leaf symbol is there.
