Ooooh! That sounds neat and usable. Did not know that you could drag and drop BETWEEN family files. This work around might be my best way until Legacy adds the feature.
Many thanks Dave !

One trick I used many Legacy versions ago to duplicate a few different individuals probably still works but it may be more complicated than you wish. First, as with all experimentation, make sure you have a good backup of your files. Open a new *empty* Legacy file -- I named mine "empty.fdb" Then open this "empty.fdb" file in Split View with your family file as the second file. Select your family file and drag and drop the individuals you want duplicated over to "empty.fdb". Select "empty.fdb" file and drag and drop the individuals back to your family file. Do not merge or permit auto-merge to combine them. Obviously, if you wish you can edit or modify those "empty.fdb" records before copying them back. Have fun! Cheers! -- Dave N.

One thing I'd love to be able to do quickly when having to split current information stored against 1 person into 2 separate people (same name, just a new RIN) is duplicate my current individual record... I looked for any such feature but could not find anything. Any others know how to do this?
