Roger, It's not really Intellishare that's the issue, it's the complication of handling changes to the same data. It would get extremely complicated and would require a lot of interaction with the user to resolve these situations. (For example, you change and add and delete events for the same person, the sync process would have to try and reconcile this)
You CAN change either side (Legacy or Pocket Genealogist), you just can't change both sides at the same time. (You have to sync to get the databases the same before you make changes on one side or the other... After you make the changes and sync up, you can then change the other side) Kevin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roger W.

One question is there going to be an option in the future that will us the intellishare feature that would allow me to make changes in both then sync them together? Thanks Roger Kevin R.
