File: Combining Two Sets of Fields into a Form
Last reviewed: October 26, 1994

Article ID: Q30435

Summary:

When new fields are added to a Microsoft File data file form, pieces of information must be individually added to the new fields in each record. This is true whether or not the fields are added from scratch or from another data file's form.

For example, suppose that data files A and B have different fields. If B's fields are added to A's form, a form combining all fields from both data files is generated. However, B's field data will not automatically be imported into the data file containing the combined form. B's field data must be copied and pasted into the appropriate positions in the data file.
