	Tony, just a quick tip, back up all your info on the family tree program to internet storage and to a cd - puter crashes do happen and you dont want to lose anything.

If you wish to save on cd, you will still need to save to comp first, but not exactly sure how you would transfer to cd, you will need "burning" software of some sort, though I think windows provides some.

	How can I save my GR tree onto CD to transfer it to a Family Tree program? Thanks Tony
