One other thing to consider when using Legacy on two computers is the location of multimedia files. The links in your Legacy file must be the same on both computers. Generally, this means you should not use 'My Documents', 'My Pictures' etc. as they are part of your user profile, and that path is often different between computers.
Using the default Legacy folders C:\Legacy\Data...... works fine, as will anything up in the 'root folder', often C:\something. I actually use Dropbox, but have installed it as C:\Dropbox, rather than the normal default C:\My Documents\Dropbox precisely because of the multimedia linking issue. Paul Gray Legacy files can be shared between any two computers no matter which version of Windows are installed. Before anyone jumps on me though I better say the Windows system has to be Windows 95 or later. I personally would not use Dropbox for the file sharing but many users here have used it with their main file. I would prefer to backup the file and multimedia to Dropbox and restore a copy of the file(s) from the Dropbox copy. When finished on one computer I would backup to Dropbox again.
