Pam, Assuming that the DB on your PC has not changed and that you are not really interested in actually indentifying the changes but simply in updating your PC then make sure the back-up on the lap-top is uptodate and email it to your PC.
Save the attachment to Legacy/Data on you PC and use File>Restore to create the .fdb file and you will be given the choice of overwriting the old file or changing the name. You can also use a USB stick to transfer it to your PC.

We live part of the time away from home and I then use a laptop to study my family history. The original database was the same as on my PC. I need a way to record which files have been altered on the laptop and copy that altered information to my PC without going through each record individually. i.e . identify changes or differences in the databases since a certain date.
