FTM 8 : importing trees and losing source information

I have been usiing FTM for a number of years and it does everything I
need.

One annoying thing I have found is that when I import another tree into
my primary tree, it looses all the source information from the imported
tree and resets it all to the imported file name. The source info in
the primary tree is unchanged. I tend to work on my own Ives tree,
leeping my mothers maiden name tree and my wifes tree seperately. I
know it's probably better to have a single tree, it's just it gets too
unmanageable

Is there a workaround to this or is this fixed in a later version.

I don't know
but I like to keep trees divided

my original family file is on line at around 1800 names and frozen

I use world connect for my other projects

I hate importing data
best to read it all carefully first

on idea might be to merge as two exported gedcom in another programme
and import the combined files back into ftm
