merge 2 Accpac installations 1

[johnhugh]

Hi,

I have 2 servers with Accpac 6 installed. Each server got an Accpac company and system database.
I want to get rid of one server and have both companies under the same Accpac installation (all companies under the same drop down box for)
Is that possible at all with both companies having different system databases and different functional currencies?

Yes

Thanks ettienne.
Could you explain the how-to a bit further please?
Do I just move the databases accross and create the database profiles in Accpac?
I'm not sure how they all come under the one drop down box.

I have sites with 100+ companies, it's simple.
Move the databases over and create the Accpac databases in databases setup. Both company databases can be linked to 1 system database, there is no reason to keep 2 system databases. The exchange rates are stored in the system database, you can export/import the rates. If you go with 2 system databases then the users will have to maintain exchange rates in both companies - I'm sure they would appreciate not having to do that.
