  2. Select "More Options" (dropdown arrow near the ‘Print’ button in older versions) and select the ‘Records’ > ‘Import Records…’ option:

  5. Select the type of database to import from using the ‘Database Type’ dropdown menu (here we are importing from a Microsoft Access database file). Browse to find the database as appropriate and set any appropriate settings to connect to your original database. Select the ‘Ok’ button:

  8. Select the ‘Yes’ button:

  9. Select the ‘Yes’ button if you want to overwrite existing records with a matching ID number. If you are unsure, it is often better to select the ‘No’ button:
