Angela, It might be because I have my head tied up in another problem that I don't understand, but what is ssdi?
You might be able to minimise you problem by first copying the amended files from B ie. the ones which you have changed since abstracting B from A, using Search>Find>Detailed Search and on the first row: Individual; Modified Date; After; insert the date you split the files in the last box. Click "Create" and on the new screen Options>Advanced Tagging; select a convenient tag number and then "Everyone in Search List". Copy the tagged file into a new Legacy file and then merge with A Ron Ferguson _____________________________________________________ Create your Website with Legacy, see Tutorials at: http://www.fergys.co.uk Includes the family tree for Alan J Grimshaw http://www.fergys.co.uk/Grimshaw/ For The Fergusons of N.W.

I created a new file (with all the same individuals) (file B) to do a special project but then forgot to return to my original file A. In the meantime I have imput about 700 new individuals into file B. I want to merge file B back into file A. I did this and then did intellishare and then did automerge. The automerge began running and it had 2,994,340 possible files to review. I let it run and it took in excess of 12 hours and then it returned to the files for me to go through to find all of the individuals that still need to be reviewed. (I saved the merge file and compared the file sizes. There were over 17,000 people that in the new file) Thinking this is nuts and would take all week. I undid the merge and started again with file A and B. Is there anyway to merge these files that wont take a huge amount of time? Yes, the files are the same other than adding the new individuals and adding some ssdi info to some of the existing files. The reason I want to revert to file A is that in file A I have extensively used the tags and do not want to lose them (months of work). In file B I deleted all of the tags to do my project. Any advice would be welcome, Thanks, Angela Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
