Once merged what happens? Will each coast continuing using their copy or is something in the works to have them all use one database? JWC -----Original Message----- From: Nancy Lytle [mailto:lytlenj at yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 10:45 AM To: AccessD at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] Take a formatted number and turn it into a "real" number I just got handed a database of about 30 tables (about half are lookups), there are about 10 tables with varying relationships that are fairly well defined. There is an identical - but unconnected - version of the database at our West Coast location. I have now been tasked with merging the two. At first I thought it would be easy because it appeared they were using two different numbers schemes for the PK's turns out they just formatted them to "look different" but the matching tables use the same Autonumber - start from 1 - field type. So now I have to figure out a way to merge them without messing up all the relationships. Does anyone have any ideas? Both databases are still being used so I have to come up with a way I can do it with the least down time possible.
