Is there any way to combine two CintaNotes databases ?
Over 90% of the notes will be INDENTICAL for both databases.
Thanks

Yes, have you tried importing DB2 into DB1? It should filter out duplicates. If you need them, check "Allow duplicates"

Import works fine. Thanks.
I need to import several "static snapshots" of cintanotes.db
That's because I wrecked my C:\partition. So, I've been gradually repairing. Each incremental repair is accompanied by a Macrium Backup or a Restore
Before each, I copy (or restore) CintaNotes.db offline. So there are muliple offline snapshots of the db.
The CN Import that I'm looking at now has sections. I don't like Sections. If I delete them, will the notes be moved into Main ? (Which is what I want? )
Thanks.

I found the answer in the Help.

Great to know that Help is helpful, for a change
However for the sake of further readers of this topic:
When you delete a section, its notes are deleted as well. If you don't want that, move all the notes into another section first (Ctrl+A, then Shift+F6)
