Hello, I am seeking comments about whether data entered into a pocket PC Pocket Genealogist can be accurately and fully downloaded to a Legacy on a laptop, and vice versa (please mention which versions of Legacy and Pocket Genealogist were used). I use a HP/IPAQ pda, which is a pocket PC. I would like to buy software that uses Legacy and will run on my IPAQ. I hope to input and output data while on a trip. A member of the Legacy support staff told me, concerning Pocket Genealogist, that:
"I've spoken with several people who use this program. They love it but have found that it's much better to consider a genealogy program on a PDA as a "read-only" and not try editing the data and exporting it back into your main Family File. There's a risk of losing data with any import/export process. You might ask on the Legacy User Group mailing list for users of Pocket Genealogist what their experience has been with editing the program and converting the data back to a Legacy file." I will be traveling overseas, where my previous generations reside. I want to be able to enter the data into the pda, and to have it be retrievable correctly into the Legacy running on my home computer. Before I invest the time in using Pocket Genealogist, I would like to know that its input/output processing with Legacy is fully functional. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you.
