Re: [LegacyUG] Network or use Intellishare with Legacy?
John, It depends on what you want to do. I use both. I imagine you are looking for ways to make sure the data can be used across platforms and still stay current. Intellishare is ideal to use when more than one researcher is working on the same database. It lets one of the parties maintain the database and send refreshed copies to the others. I have my Legacy database on my desktop and I shared it. When I'm using my laptop (most of the time), I access the shared database.

RE: [LegacyUG] Network or use Intellishare with Legacy?
John, Neither. I have my Legacy database on a flash drive. This way I can take my data to ANY computer with Legacy installed on it. I also keep my images (in small .jpg format) on my memory drive. All my images go with me. This way I am not limited to home with my database. Before disconnecting my flash drive at home, I do a full copy to my hard drive (for backup purposes ONLY. The database is only accessed from the Flash drive. This way I have no problems with trying to keep multiple copies of the database updated. I volunteer at a Family History Center and recommend this practice to all patrons who visit on my shift, whether they use Legacy or not. It works with all programs. But, I do put in my vote with them for switching to Legacy every chance I get.hehe I use my memory drive to demonstrate the capabilities of Legacy to all who are interested. I have had quite a few switch to Legacy and they love it. I also have the installable executable file on my flash drive. I can install the standard version on any computer I am working on. I then leave it for the family member or friend to use when I leave. This way they have a great genealogy program to use.

RE: [LegacyUG] Network or use Intellishare with Legacy?
You are right that is what I am trying to do. I am experimenting with you method, but, Legacy will not let me set the default path from the laptop to the network shared folders on the desktop. I was able to change the data folder on the laptop by selecting it with open file command, and it automaticly decame the default in the options path for folders. However, I can't figure out how to select the picture path in the shared folders from the laptop, can you bail me out of this one too.

RE: [LegacyUG] Network or use Intellishare with Legacy? (problem description included)
Neither. Too much data corruption. After some exceedingly ugly experiences with Intellishare, I have stopped collaborating entirely. It's not worth it. (I'll explain below.) After some consistently unfortunate experiences with the master database residing on the flash drive, I have stopped that practice as well. (I'll explain that first.) With the flash drive, Legacy took up the habit of crashing, which meant that I lost information, and lost user settings. This began to happen regularly (daily). When I moved the database to the laptop hard drive, Legacy stopped crashing. Asking around here at IBM, we suspect there is a timing issue. The database engine, perhaps, correctly streams data to/from the hard drive but not the USB flash drive. I now use the flash drive exclusively for trips to the local Family History Center (LDS). It's great for collecting what I need - but not for the Legacy database itself. The last builds of Legacy 5, and the first builds of Legacy 6, introduced a data corruption feature affecting Intellishare. Most likely it had to do with the better formatting capabilities (boldface etc) in the various notes fields - but collaboration was no longer an option. It's been fixed, supposedly, and I've since purchased Legacy 6 to obtain the fix (no fix for Legacy 5). However, it's unlikely we'll go back to collaborating as we originally did. That is, two people independently working on copies of the same database, and then regularly merging the results. There's just too much data corruption to sort out. I'm referring to two different kinds of corruption here. The formatting-related corruption mentioned above caused individual merges to fail. That's been fixed (supposedly; I've not attempted to verify). The general Intellishare problem, though, is not easily resolved - and the result is database corruption. Here are examples of the Intellishare pitfalls. 1. Jo and I both have copies of the database. I discover that two children are actually the same person - Mary and Polly. I merge Mary and Polly to become Mary (alternate name Polly). We merge the two databases, and suddenly Polly reappears - she was deleted in one database and not the other. My discovery that Mary and Polly are the same person, has been thrown away. My collaboration was pointless! 2. I discover that there were TWO people named Truman Day, each a cousin of the other. I had the wrong wife connected to the wrong Truman, each had children, and the children were rather shuffled between the two. Hey, it happens! I carefully unlink and relink everyone, so that everyone's correctly connected to their spouse and parents. After merging the two database copies with Intellishare, we have a badly corrupted mess. Trying to sort things out during the merge just makes things worse. It would have been better if I'd never collaborated at all. (There's a solution, as I'll mention below.) 3. From time to time, someone gets parents unknown unknown with RIN 0 and 0. It can happen from accidentally clicking to add parent, from adding a brother or sister, or importing a small GEDCOM from someone else. Having unknown parents is okay - until you do an Intellishare merge. Merge two copies of the same person, and you then have TWO sets of unknown unknown parents. I've had over 1,000 sets of parents for a single individual, before I realized what was happening. The solution to this third case is pretty easy. Do the find for multiple sets of parents. If it's a single person - no brother or sister - simply delete the unknown unknown parents. If there are siblings, you need at least one parent to keep the family connected. I put in something like Father of John and Barbara as the father's name, remove the unknown, and that way things get matched up correctly during each merge. Legacy does an excellent job of merging people with names, but refuses to merge ghosts with RIN of 0. In summary, if you are editing RELATIONSHIPS between people, don't use Intellishare. Deleted people re-appear; moved people become connected to multiple sets of parents. In other words, a corrupted database. Our solution is to send out the master database if needed. Edit the master and return it to the owner. Thus there's no merging of two copies. We don't do simultaneous edits anymore. Edit and return. Another way to look at it is that I have a read only copy of the master database. We *do* continue to collaborate - but I don't do any editing of the master database. I simply *look* at it, and send along changes to be made.

Ed, I have many friends that use Flash drives (from various manufacturers) for their database and have never experienced this problem. I rarely have Legacy crash.

RE: [LegacyUG] Network or use Intellishare with Legacy? (problem description included)
Glen, Thank you! That's good to know, and I have no doubt you're correct. I run Legacy on an IBM Thinkpad with Windows XP, all software installed at IBM (I work at IBM). Of course that does NOT preclude there being a driver conflict! I would guess that if it happened once (to me), it's possible it can happen to others - so be aware of the possibility :) My original scheme had been to use the database on the flash drive, and do backups to the hard drive. Now both database and backups are on the same hard drive. Obviously vulnerable if the hard drive crashes! So I keep a copy of the current database on our webserver as well. The webserver's in a different region of the USA so a local disaster isn't likely to affect both.
