FTM - Including photos

[Scottiedog]

Hi

Am I going stupid?   

I seem to remember a switch in FTM so that you could decide to include photographs directly in your database or, if you preferred, merely a reference to where the photo is.

I can't find the option - did I just dream about it?

Any help gratefully received!

Thanks

As far as my understanding goes the new version of FTM allows you to ref your photos in your tree (and I believe see them) but they remain stored on your hard drive rather than in the FTM file.

Does that make sense?

Hi - thanks

Yes, that's exactly what I'm wanting to do. I'm using FTM 2005 - is it not an option in that version?

Not an option as far as I am aware - they are using it as a marketing point of the new version.

I have FTM 2005, and have to add images, I can't refer to them as you want.

OK, thanks all - I must have dreamt it.
