Pocket Genie from Northern Hills is a superb product that includes a full 2-way synchronisation with Legacy. So, if you so wish, you can upate the data in PGenie and then bring the updates back to Legacy - or vice versa. I tend to keep the PGenie copy "read only" so I can use it for reference wherever I am. The synchronisation then just updates Pgenie from the Legacy changes.
Looks, feels and works very simlar to Legacy. Their web site is http://www.northernhillssoftware.com/ As with Legacy, support is great and there is a users forum just like this one. My main Legacy database is about 20mb, but on PGenie it is in many parts (1 file per table) and seems to be a total of about 8mb. I keep the files on a CF card which avoids problems if the system crashes or the batteries run down, but is much slower if you want to do data entry - fine for read only though Great value Jack -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Karen Hughes Sent: 16 January 2005 20:41 To: Legacy Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy for the PDA Hi all, Thinking of splashing out and buying a PDA - does anyone use one for their research? I see there are a couple of programs for the PDA advertised - how good are they? Any problems? How does the conversion work ie if my Legacy file is 96MB how does that convert for Gedstar for example? Lots of questions for a Monday morning 8-) -- Cheers! Karen.
