Dennis, thanks for the help. In other words, one needs to keep a copy of the old website on a local disk, generate the entire website in another directory, and compare the contents of all old files to all new files to find just the substantively changed ones? But all new files have at least one minor change by default, the date of creation at the bottom of each page. So a CRC, or size, or binary comparison will show all files to be different. One wants a file comparison tool in which you can mask out this single, trivial, difference. Ron Ferguson wrote me directly to suggest http://www.componentsoftware.com/Products/CSDiff/ Assuming the file comparison procedure can be made to work, if I set "reuse RIN's" to Off, added individuals will get new pages, old individuals that link to them will be changed as well, so that's ok. Deleted individuals will still have their web pages on the server, but nothing would link to them. Merged individuals would have to be handled on a case by case basis, I guess. In some cases, there would be no problem. Any other details that will screw this up? I realize that after major surgery, the whole website has to be uploaded, for but for minor tweaks to a basically stable site, there ought to be some way to shortcut the process. Jonathan
