Here is how I do it. Make sure in both computers the version of Legacy you want is installed. The latest version, ideally.
My laptop does not have floppy disk drives (I wasn't surprised at that, but was surprised the sales clerk promised me there was a 3.5 inch floppy drive), so I use CD-Rs which has plenty of room. Should the time come that a CD-R is not large enough, split the family in half and place them on two separate CD-Rs and copy, import them together. CAVEAT: If you research is dependent on the RINs and MRINs being exactly the same on both machines, be careful. It may not necessarily do so. Usually though, this is not a problem, as most people I know (around here anyway) are not dependent on RINs.

I'm sure this has been asked many times before but now I need to do this so it's time to ask. I finally decided to do in the Palm/GedStar Pro experiment. It just isn't flexible enough and having to work with two interfaces just slows me down. I finally picked up a laptop and now I'd like to install Legacy on it (I own Deluxe) and would like to have some sort of automated synchronizing of the data along the lines of the way a Palm synchronizes its data. Does Legacy support this in any way? I don't want to have to worry about the validity of multiple copies of the database and I won't be able to get into the database on my PC while I'm on the road where no Net access is available. What's the best way to handle this?
