Good. Open the old Swedish Project, and open Data Set Manager. I think you will find that the one Data Set in that project is called "My Data Set." That's the default name for the Data Set when you create a new project from scratch. I'd suspect you never had reason to notice it and so didn't change it. If that's correct, then the Data Set called "My Data Set" in the combined Project is your Swedish data. So you want that one to "remain unchanged" when you do the Data Set merge. That means that the contents of that Data Set are copied to the other one. Once you have done that, and verified that the people from the Swedish Project appear twice - once in Data Set #1, and again in DS #2, you can delete DS #2 from that Project. Thanks, it worked like a charm! Cellobug

Actually, all of my Wood DB has #1 before their #s and all of the Swedish people have a #2 before their numbers, so I achieved that part as I intended and contrary to what you thought I might have done. My problem is that when I am in the Wood Project (which has the combined DBs), and then I open the Data Set Manager, the little window shows "Wood imported 13 Aug 2003" and "My Data Set". Which one of these is to remain unchanged? Why is there no Swedish DB showing?

I have merged a small B project (Swedish) into a larger A project (Wood). From Terry Riegel's book, I know that I now need to merge databases, but I am confused when I open FILE>Data Set Manager and see My Data Set and Wood imported 4 August 2003. What is in My Data Set? I'm afraid to merge something when I don't know what is in it. My understanding from what I read is that the A Project now contains both projects and the B Project is still an original project. So how do I merge the two databases in the A Project? Cellobug
