duplicates</title></head><body>
<div>I use Text Wrangler (for Mac) which has a great compare files
function that allows you to copy selected chunks directly from the
changed file to the master file.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>There is a tool called Shoeshop (<font face="Lucida Grande"
size="+1"
color="#000000">http://www.geocities.com/david_rowbory/</font>) for
merging Toolbox files that I have heard is good but I have not used
it.</div>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>I'm back on the Cheyenne reservation for
a week of language work. Somehow,<br>
in the process of creating a smaller database for a school program, I
lost<br>
track of my complete database with its latest edits. So I have now
made many<br>
changes to a slightly smaller version of the complete database. I
still have<br>
the complete database but it is not not up-to-date with changes made
this<br>
week.<br>
<br>
Is there to automate a process of merging my current database with
the<br>
older, larger one and end up with a new database which has all and
only the<br>
database records I want? I don't want to manually delete duplicate
entries.<br>
I've done that before and it's too much work with the size of my
database<br>
now.<br>
<br>
I am willing to do a visual check using some compare-files software,
if I<br>
can compare differences between two Shoebox databases. But the
more<br>
automated the process can be, without losing data, the better.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Wayne<br>
