The program installs itself and copies your database and media over. You can run it on any Windows computer without actually installing anything to that computer. I sure do wish Legacy could do that. Folks who use Reunion and MacFamilyTree on the mac side of the world can install their live database on their iphone or ipod touch devices and can actually edit on these devices. Their app then syncs back to the desktop database. Sure wish Legacy could do that too.

It is not possible to run *any* program from an external drive with out installing it - except for a few programs specifically designed to run that way (and I don't know any for genealogy) or by using MojoPac. > > > > Ron Ferguson > > _____________________________________________________________________ > > Tutorials: Programme of adding videos commenced > http://www.fergys.co.uk/ > View the Grimshaw Family Tree at: > http://www.fergys.co.uk/Grimshaw/ > For The Fergusons of N.W.
