Re: Merging Databases w/ access

I assume from your post that you are merging 3 different types of databases and wanting to import their information into Access. You can use the query wizard in Access to bring in data from the other 3 db's, if the db programs are compatable. If not compatable, export the data files from the non-compatable db's to a CSV file format then import into Access.
