This command is only available when no grade book is open. The objective is to search a folder of grade book files and extract information about a student. Each grade book can only contain one subject. The extracted information is used to create a new grade book that contains only the one student and grade information from each subject. The resulting grade book file has limited use for creating reports.
To use the Merge command, all grade book files to be searched must be in one folder. A separate folder shoud be created to receive the merged grade book file. Student IDs must be used in all grade books.
A dialog is presented in which you can enter the student ID or the name of a text file that contains one student ID per line. Two additional dialogs are then presented, one for selecting the folder to be searched and the other for selecting the folder in which merged grade book files are to be stored. Do not use the same folder!!
