More than one Q&A db in one Sesame Application

Hi all!

I am in the process of cleaning up some Q&A databases that I am converting to Sesame.

Q&A only lets you have one database open at a time.

Sesame lets you have one application open at a time, however this can have more than one database in it.

Is this correct?

Is it possible to put more than one Q&A databases into one Sesame application?  If so, how?

These database that I am working on are depended on each other and will not work alone so it would make logical sense to put them together in  one application.

I have looked through the information about translating a Q&A database and have not found information about this. If anyone knows where I could find the answer to my questions I would be most appreciative.

Thanks for your help!

FJH

Once you've translated both your Q&A databases into Sesame, you can Merge one of them into the other. See pages 385-386 in the User Guide for instructions.

Thanks Hammer!

Just what I was looking for. Too bad there is not at least a reference pointing to this section in the User Guide in the Q&A Database Translation Guide. Lantica should consider adding it to future editions of the Q&A Database Translation Guide.

Some of your questions might be answered by reading my "big project" thread.
I now have five QA4 databases converted and merged. All running simultaneously. Works wonderfully.
I still have a few issues, but I'm sure the brilliant people on this board will help me through.

Hi John!

Thanks for the advice. I just read through your A Big Project thread and learn some neat things that I can use.

Thanks!

Frederick
