I got this from another list, hope it helps some one. I gave up on FTM a
long time ago.

I bought FTW Version 6.0 a few months ago, but just installed it
yesterday -- after which my program was virtually unusable it was so
slow when I used the index (over 5 minutes to get a name to come up). I
called Family Tree Maker Tech Assistance, and they advised that they had
learned of a problem for people who have large files (over 30,000 of so
names -- I have 75,000, so I certainly fit into the category <g>). They
have come up with a fix, and it works great. If you use FTW and have a
large file, you should go to Web site:

http://www.familytreemaker.com/60aindex.html

and download the fix file. It is a little under 500K (zipped) and has a
self-extracting feature that makes it very easy to install. I thought I
might save someone else having to stay on "hold" for a LONG time while
on long distance to learn of the fix for this problem. David Bishop
