Getting desparate now! Can someone take a look at these 2 files and try to get them combined. They are shape files of manholes surveyed by 2 different surveyors and I cant seem to get them combined into 1 file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tim....
I just tried to merge the rjnexport file with the allmanholes file. I set the export file to a shapefile. The results show me being successful, but after looking at the attribute table, only the 100 from the rjn file are in the new file. Getting very frustrating! Sorry to keep bothering you but do you have an idea what might be happening here?

I don't know to be honest, did you look at my attachment? I think when I did it, it worked.

tim...your did just what I wanted. I started me a new map and imported both shape files into it. The merge failed the first time, but I changed the order of which file I chose first, for the merge, and it worked. I have no idea why that would matter, but it did. Just seems sketchy to me that it would work one time and not the next. Anyway....I really do appreciate the time/help you put to this. Merry Christmas!
