How BK7 is different from BK6

Version 7 has a new file structure to allow for more fields and longer fields. All data that you entered into version 6 will transfer into BK 7.

BK7 has the same reports and features as BK 6.6 plus extra reports and features.

Here are some of the changes that are in version 7.

Longer fields

Some fields are longer.

Edit screen

Longer notes

Other

Version 7 does not use Btrieve for the database. Some users have had trouble with Btrieve or wbtrv32.dll and this version will work better for them.

Version 7 can convert your existing data from version 6

Version 7 prints reports in the same manner as 6.6 does currently.

New reports: Version 7.0 has two new reports. The Ancestor Origins report and the 10 Generation Ancestor Circle Summary chart.

Version 7.2 has a new report. Descendant Circle Chart. Version 7.2 can also print a Table of Contents for the Descendant Indented Book report.

The new Descendant Circle Chart will quickly show you a summary of descendants. The starting person is in the middle. Imagine a Box chart with the left side bent up to the top of a circle.  The person who would be at the far left of the Box chart will be at the top of this circle chart, with siblings going counter-clockwise. This sample chart shows 5 generations, but you can print up to 10 generations.

Version 7.3 has a new report. Descendant Spiral Time Chart. Also other changes.

Version 7.4 has a new report. Ancestor Implex / Pedigree Collapse. Also two games and other changes.

Version 7.5 has a new View option: Five Generation View/Browse. Also other changes.
