Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Separate file of a local area
Re your problem with Merged persons in the smaller file still remaining in
the Master:
It is better to leave both people and enter a note for each one saying why
they should be merged. You are right that the master file will still
retain the two original people, remember it was not changed while you were
on the research trip. The Intellimerge will note the difference in Notes
and those two will then be flagged during the intellimerge as changed. If
you merge in the smaller file then there is no second person in the
smaller file to be found during the intellimerge. It only works for people
who are in both files.

I export from my main file all persons who would be found in a film or
series of films, (say Rheinsheim, Baden). When I'm looking at the films
of the area it's easier to navigate a smaller, all pertinant list of
names, sources, locations. From time to time I import the subsidiary file
back into the main file using intellimerge. This is fast and unchanged
individuals are automatically merged. I assign a source, (Rheinsheim)
during import so next time I can export a new updated Rheinsheim
subsidiary file using the source.
Some problems I haven't worked out:
If I do a merge in the subsidiary file the merged person remains in main
file.
After the subsidiary file is merged the multimedia files referenced to
deleted records remain orphaned. A file Check/Repair operation produces
the following file. It took awhile for me to figure out what it meant but
apparently it's just a cleanup operation.
Check/Repair of Legacy Family File: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My
Documents\vanwasshnova.fdb
Date: 08-03-2006
Please check this file very carefully.
It's a good idea to run another Check/Repair after you verify the items
in this file.
