Thanks, Dan, With something as complex as merging it would be easier if you broke the process down into stages and give baby steps details as to what you have done and why/how it seems not to work. I do find that if I try to guess I get it wrong as often as I am correct!

V8.0.0.356 yesterday currently running V8.0.0.357 build 4 Dec 13. I had checked the Help file and Manual. Possibly I missed something. Dan From: Ron Ferguson Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2013 4:51 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Compare Two Files Dan, Welcome aboard. This is not the easiest of subjects, so I would ask if you have read the Help File? Would you also specify which version of Legacy you are using, this is most important especially just after a new release. To find the Help (V8.0.0.356 deluxe) click Help>Help Index>Search and enter “merge files” (no quotes) in the search box. Select “Merging Family" Files” from the list. Whilst learning may I suggest that you make copies of your .fdb files, particular the main one, and practice on those. If you then are having problems please do come back to the list. Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/ From: Dan Toshack Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2013 1:24 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Compare Two Files I have split the screen in Legacy 8 and accessed two similar files one has been updated with thousands of corrections and the other one has about 800 additional names. I would like to compare the two files and then merge/import ONLY the 800 additional names into the updated file. Also tried the Compare Two File option. New to Legacy.
