Stuart, IntelliShare will only work if the different versions of the file were "spun off" one original file.

I have three files all with the same family name and they started individually. I assume that your suggestion will work the same. Stuart In a message dated 10/19/2010 4:01:24 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Stuart, If the three families originally started out as one file, I would import them into one designated and do an IntelliShare merge. During the merge process Legacy will search for all records with matching IntelliShare values and then automatically combine those that have exactly the same value. These are the records where no changes have been made. At the end of the automatic merge sweep, Legacy will display only the records where changes have been made by one or more persons. Please see the article "Sharing Research Tasks in Legacy: Using IntelliShare" at http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/tipsIntShare.asp. Although IntelliShare is designed to help multiple research coordinate their research tasks, some people use Intellishare to keep their family files in sync on two or more computers that they own. (They think of their other computers as other researchers.)

I have several computers all with different versions of Legacy. Before I try to combine them into file with the current Legacy version. I plan to update all machines with current version. My questions are: How should I combine the three files? Should I do this on one machine and then move it to the other machines after they have the most current version of Legacy? Some guidance would be greatly accepted.
