Hi
I run v 8.05 and I merge 3 databases where I have QSO's from 3 different
call signs without problems.
When you merge databases you can choose "Imported QSO replaces existing
QSO" and the QSOs from db2 will overwrite the existing QSOs from db1.
If you merge 3 almost equal databases I guess your QSL data will get lost
from db1 when you have imported db2.
My suggestion is tha you merge the database with the most updated QSL data
as the final merge.
No matter what your QSL data will be wrong when you merge databases and
your QSL data is not updated in all your databases.
BTW I can recommend to use e.g. dropbox to place the database file. Then
you have a backup and you can open the database file from different
computers.
