Is there a way (that I'm missing) to combine two existing databases into one?

I've looked for an import function or a box to not clear current when opening the next file, that kind of thing. Have looked in help and searched the forum unsuccessfully for this.

Is there an option for this? Thanks.

May have found it...

Opened one database that I wanted as part of the "combine"
then file/restore database
then restore SPECIFIC profiles
select all

and that appears to merge the two databases.

Is this the correct/acceptable way? Is there a better way or an option that I might have missed?

Backup both databases. Open the one you want to contain the combined database (or create a new one). Select restore database, restore specific profiles, select all. You may want to check just restore profiles and restore cover scans.
Edit: looks like you found it while I was typing.

Yes, but thanks anyway! Never hurts to have a little bit of confirmation. <g>
