Hi Everyone, I know this isn't really a Family History question but I am near pulling my hair out trying to save my data to my USB. I have saved Reports and want to save to USB so I may get all reports printed off.I have Family Tree Maker 2017 edition.
Hope someone has the answer. Cheer everyone.

As I dont use that particular software I can only suggest a generic solution. Where are your saved Reports now? Do you know the name and extension (.three letters)? How did you save them before?

If you use a File > Save As > method, then you just need to choose the location usually in the drop down list, the flash drive will be listed.

If you know the name and extension, you could also find these in your File Manager and drag them from their current location to the USB drive.

I knew I could count on you Mary. This software is much more complicated. I know where i have them saved and i can retrieve them, but I will try the drop down menu and see if pen drive shows up. Thank you Mary. I have the manual but I nearly lashed that yesterday. :roll: cheers Carol
