Merging All Linked Files Merging All Linked Files

Once you have linked files, the simplest way to combine your BOOKMAN Sidekick and PC Sidekick files is to merge all your linked files. Please note, Merge All is the recom- mended way to combine your linked files.

Merging all your linked files saves all their nonidentical entries on both your BOOK- MAN Sidekick and your PC Sidekick.

Identical entries in your linked files remain unchanged. The result is linked files that are identical on both your BOOKMAN Sidekick and PC Sidekick.

Caution: When you merge files, the previously existing linked files on your BOOKMAN Sidekick and computer are overwritten.

1.On the BOOKMAN Sidekick Connectivity main window, click Merge All.

Before you merge all your files, you must first link them. To learn how, read “Linking Files.”

If you are currently running PC Sidekick, it will automatically quit when you transfer or merge.

2.If you are overwriting data to your BOOKMAN Sidekick, click OK.

3.If duplicate records are found, select one of the three options and then click OK.
