Cathy, thanks for that. I will do it that way in future, if necessary - it will be quite straight-forward.
However, this is what I found expedient: I added 2 fields to my view of the data, in the "travelling" version of Legacy; those fields appear in Index View as Added and UpDate. (I eventually found the fields when using Customise Index View Columns, as "Date: Added to Family File", and "Date: Modified") I was careful with both the Tag and the RINs - no problems encountered. Because I had only 6 extra people added or modified while away, and I was using a tablet with Legacy v9, it was simple to locate them that way and export, and then import into my "home" version of Legacy. If I had hundreds of modified records I can imagine complications and confusion. The "home" Legacy database is now upgraded to v10, as I mentioned (and I like v10). Because I have a reasonably large database now, having those 2 extra fields is useful in itself (though I don't want to have to change or import a large number of individuals that were added/modified within a "travelling" version of Legacy). A side comment: I find it easier to have a single database, with sundry "non-family" persons added there rather than in a series of separate Legacy database files. (Some individuals purported to be related have turned out to be not. Others - they are merely of interest to me. ) One database, one computer is easier for me. However, most of my ancestors 2-3 generations back are in parts of UK and Ireland, so updating when overseas may continue to be a problem. I.L.

Ian You need to use Search > Find > Detailed Search tab Individual > Modified date > after > [the date you started using the other computer] Tag the Search list on an unused tag and export to a new Legacy file and then import just those people into your Legacy 10 database and merge. In the export and import you can choose to keep existing RINs as much as possible though on import I'd opt to start RINs at a much higher value than your current RINs so you can see easily in the merge which person came from which file. Don't forget to override privacy in export if you've used any privacy features.
