See this thread that I started. It might help you. I use the suggested technique and it worked for me.
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg43423.html Paul From: Ron Goodwin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: February-13-10 6:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Compairing Two Legacy Files I have just received a Legacy file from another family member and I want to compare it to my own and add any names, events or sources that I don’t have in my own data base. We each have over 4000 names, so it would be a big job to do a split screen and go file by file. Now I know that I can do a merge, and then check for duplicates, but again that is a huge job. And unfortunately the numbering systems are difference too. What I hoping to be able to do is just get a list of names, events and sources that are different between to two data bases. Is there any way I can do this? Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
