Here is my problem. I have my fathers database which was created with PAF 2.2. I also have a CD copy of PAF 4.0 and have downloaded PAF 5.2. How can I get his data from the 2.2 version into 5.2?

Not something I have ever tried, but is it possible to export the data from 2.2 to a common format, GED perhaps ? And then import it into the new 5.2 one ?

SpammerBait, Thanks. Iwas looking at the wrong options for outputting to a GEDcom file in version 2.2. I managed to get the data into version 5.2 within 5 minutes. Thanks again. -pb
