Hi Sally,

Yes, you can merge two databases, although its capabilities in the current
version were designed for merging databases originating from different
sources: it takes a skeptical approach--no automatic merging takes place;
you need to use the Match Finder tool to find the potential duplicates, then
merge them separately.

More powerful capabilities will be added in a future version.

Best regards,

-- Bill
