Dan, Welcome aboard.
This is not the easiest of subjects, so I would ask if you have read the Help File? Would you also specify which version of Legacy you are using, this is most important especially just after a new release. To find the Help (V8.0.0.356 deluxe) click Help>Help Index>Search and enter “merge files” (no quotes) in the search box. Select “Merging Family" Files” from the list. Whilst learning may I suggest that you make copies of your .fdb files, particular the main one, and practice on those. If you then are having problems please do come back to the list.

I would like to compare the two files and then merge/import ONLY the 800 additional names into the updated file. Also tried the Compare Two File option. New to Legacy.
