Recovering messed up field from backup

[tedg]

I used a ‘Replace Field’ operation to remove stray CR, and in the process accidentally overwrote the data.

I do have a backup made right before the mess-up, but that mess-up was discovered only after heavy work was done on the original.

No problem. What I want to do is replace the values in a given field with the values from matching records in the backup.

What is the best way to do this?

You can import from one file to another using the update matching records option. Match on ID field and then just have that one field with the data that you want import.

Done. Many thanks.
