Surely there is a way to do this,but it is just not jumping out at me in the menu options....

How does one merge two of the databases into one database?

i.e. I have a database of my movies, and I did one for mt Wife's movies.

I want to just have them in ONE database for printing, searching, etc.

Thank you!

Step 1: Create a complete Backup of the secondary database (Menu: File -> BackUp database...)
Step 2: Copy the Backup-file onto USB-stick (if secondary database is stored on different computer than primary)
Step 3: Plug USB-stick into computer with primary database)
Step 4: Perform a partial database restore (Menu: File -> Restore database...)

This will merge the two databases unless there are double-dips (Identical UPC or DiscID). In this case the restore will overwrite the data of the double-dip in the primary database.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

This should REALLY be a full on menu option...

You know, "Merge" under "File" 

About drove me nuts trying to find it in the menu... Because it isn't there! LOL

I also searched the Help - not in there either. Well, at not when you search "merge" or "combine"

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
