Importing Tables, Layouts, Everything

I have two FM databases. I'd like to combine them into one by copying the entire structure (layouts, tables, fields, everything) of database 1 into database 2. is there an easy way to do this?

The tables and fields can be copied from db1 to db2 using FM Migrator. However, you will have to manually copy the layouts.

For a few files, it's really not that hard to just retype the fields (using exact spelling, in creation order) then you can simply copy and paste existing layouts from the old files into layouts based on the new tables in the new file.

Scripts can also be imported, though you may find that many of them are no longer necessary. You can reuse existing scripts with slight modification, using script parameters in some cases.

On the Mac It's pretty easy also using Extra Suites to copy field and table definitions from one file to another.
