I try to download my PHPGedview data as GEDCOM file to import the data into Family Tree Maker 2009.
Export - no problem. Trying to import in FTM tells me GEDCOM format must be at least 5.5. Does anyone know how to download the data in 5.5 format?
version: PHPGedview 4.2

It IS in 5.5 format - FTM has a problem (previously reported here, and to them.
If you look at the GEDCOM file, near the top you will find this tag:
1 GEDC
2 VERS 5.5.1

Just change it to:
1 GEDC
2 VERS 5.5
and it will work.
This thread gives a bit more background:

and it should import OK.
Thanks for that
I have the same problem too using Family Tree Maker 2010 and PGV 4.2.2. Can anyone help?
Never mind. I overlooked the solution in this thread. I did the fix and was able to import to Family Tree Maker. Thanks.
It's not really a fix, but rather a work-around for a bug in FTM.
You need to report the bug to the makers of FTM. Don't expect them to acknowledge your report, though.
