Combining Data Files
Data Management and Compiling Databases
1. Click on the Data Management File field and a Data File dialog
box appears which lists available Data files. Click on the name of a
non-Frozen Data File (non-original data file or backup data file) to
select that file as the destination file.
2. Click Open.
3. Click the Add File to Data File button to view the Add Single
Files dialog. Note: Destination file is listed in the Old File section.
4. Click in the Source File section to view the Find New Data File
open dialog.
5. Click on the desired data file name (file to add).
6. Click Open. Note: Last selected file is listed in the New File
section.
7. Click the Add Source to Target button. The file you’ve added
will be listed in the ‘Files Added This Session’ section. The file
listed in the Target File box now also contains a copy of the file
listed in the Source File box. (The Source File box still contains
the name of the added file until another file is selected.)
8. Follow steps 4 thru 7 to add additional files.
Note: As a safety feature(to avoid spurious duplication of records), the
software will not allow you to add a file more than once in one
session. However, if the user closes and re-opens this dialog, then the
software does not prevent the user from adding a file that may have
already been added.
9. To freeze this file after you have added to it, click Freeze Data
Records at the bottom of the Data Management window.
