Mike, thanks much for this option. This is the type of thing I was
looking for. I think I could manage this type of merge operation
without too much trouble beings it's just me and my wife at this point.
I'll be taking a good look at Legacy.

The problem is that we both do genealogy and we both need to be able

Legacy support a home network setup that allows multiple users to
edit the database?
If Legacy can't do this, what are my options that will allow us both
to edit our data simultaneously using Legacy?
Legacy is *not* a network application per se. As others have, and will
no doubt say, the family file can be opened by multiple accounts at
the same time, however, only one of them will be able to update any data.
The best way to achieve what you're asking with Legacy, is to make use
of the IntelliShare feature. One of your two machines (yours or the
wife's) is designated as the Keeper Of the Records and maintains the
master copy of the file. The Keeper simply gives the other person a
specially marked version of the file to which any kind of changes can
be made. At agreed-on intervals, the second copy is passed back to
the Keeper, merged with the master copy and a fresh copy issued to the
second person. See <http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/tipsIntShare.asp>
and <http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/tipsNGSMayJun99.asp> for more
information.
