= SUMMARY =

You can use the Works Database’s Copy command to copy data from one database to another. For example, if you would like to copy data from FILE1.WDB to FILE2.WDB, do the following:


 * 1) Load FILE2 (ALT+F Open, highlight FILE2 and press ENTER), and go to the list screen (ALT+O, View List).
 * 2) Load FILE1. Be sure you are in the list screen.
 * 3) Put your cursor on Row 1, Field 1. Press F8 (Extend Highlight) and highlight the area of the database you wish to copy.
 * 4) Press ALT+E, then C for copy. Works prompts you to select the copy destination.
 * 5) Press ALT+W, then highlight FILE2. Press ENTER.
 * 6) Place your cursor in column 1, and at the bottom of FILE2 (the first row in which there is no data) press ENTER. The data from FILE1 has now been copied into FILE2.
