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
