Roger, Here's a link to the user guide, Chapter 6 discusses 2-way synchronization with Legacy. (All data in Version 5 except for multi-media is available for update)
http://www.pocketgenealogist.com/documents.htm FYI, I'm working on changes to Pocket Genealogist for version 6 of Legacy. So far everything has been added except for the DNA information which I'm currently working on. If anybody on the list has the pre-release of version 6, you can go here to get the Pocket Genealogist pre-release. (And version 5 2-way syncing is the same with the pre-release) http://www.pocketgenealogist.com/PublicBeta Kevin R.

The data entry into the pocket pc is slow and difficult using a stick. If you have the keyboard it is better. 2. The pocket pc is slower to respond 1. The lap top is larger and harder to manage 2. The lap top is much more prone to be stolen. The pocket pc can be carried back to the stacks with you. 3. The lap top is usually more expensive. A tablet PC may be a better alternative. I have watched others use it and it seems to work great. I currently use the pocket pc to go to the library just so that I can carry all of my information in my pocket. I would like to be able to do some limited data entry and sync it back to Legacy which can be done.
