The merge / import function can import old database versions or combine two or more databases. If a spreadsheet needs to be imported the the import CSV will need to be used.

To import a database file:

• Click on [File>Merge/Import Database]
• Select the existing database.
• Click [Open]

The merge process may take some time depending on the database size. Check the merge activity in the bottom corner of the WinPATS main screen. A completion message will appear when the merge process has finished.
