Sandy, There are various ways of doing this. If you have internet access for both you can use a program called Dropbox – for safety make sure that you open the laptop so that the data will be copied to their server,, and close it before starting the PC, if you have a router then you can network the 2 machines (more complex, depending on the operating systems) – this is not the only way of networking BTW,, or copy the file to a USB stick and then import into your PC – the easiest.

Can someone tell me how when you are using 2 computers - 1 laptop and 1 desktop how you make one the masterfile, so that you can use the laptop and then when you come home update the masterfile. So you dont inadvertently loose information on the chnage over. sandy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
