Decide which one you made the most changes on, and keep that. Print out the changes you made in the other copy, and then enter them into the first one. I do what you do. I hopy my Legacy datafiles from my laptop to my desktop and back again, usian a USB flash drive, sometimes twice a day, and occasionally I've forgotten to do so, or the files didn't copy properly, and I've entered it in the wrong one. And then I've had to retype the information, though in some cases I was able to copy/paste via a third program (like Treepad). -- Steve Hayes E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.geocities.com/hayesstw/stevesig.htm Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Enter the drawing for a FREE Legacy Cruise to Alaska or a FREE research trip to Salt Lake's Family History Library.
