Bill Yes. I do all my editing on the desktop, export a GED than load it onto my phone and tablet. That way I am sure I have no database mixup problems, and I always have the latest on the devices.

Many thanks. I suppose periodically you could delete what's there and upload a fresh ged. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Boyd [mailto:boydsd@tpg.com.au] Sent: Wednesday, 21 August 2019 9:45 PM To: bk@rootsweb.com Subject: [BK] Re: Using a tablet Bill I use a Samsung Android tablet and phone on the road. I can't run BK as its Windows only. I purchased an app call GEDExplorer (written by Sundin Software, www.sundin.nu available, on the Google Play Store). Cost the princely sum of $AU5. Well worth the cost. You export a GedCom from BK and store it on your Android device, then run GEDExplorer and read the GED file. It gives you most of the information available in your BK database, in tree, circle or data sheet format. The main issue is that it is just a GED reader and display. You CANNOT edit anything. I don't find that a problem, as I think you should only have a single database and distribute updates from there. This save you from the dilemma of trying to figure out which of you databases is the most recent, and do they both have the same data? Having said that, the author has said that editing MAY be added in future. Hope this helps Steve Boyd Melton, Vic Australia ----------------------------------------------------------------------
