Re: In dire need of help

[John Darrington]

Unless the files you are merging contain a lot of foriegn characters or
non-ascii punctuation, then the warning you are seeing is unlikely to
be of serious concern.

Perhaps you could explain:

1.  What you are trying to achieve.  You said you are trying to merge
three files.  But what merge criteria do you want?

2.  Explain the format of the files you want to merge.  What variables
do that have with what formats?

3.  What have you tried so far?  Please post the exact syntax.

4.  What results did you observe (other than the "incompatible encodings"
warning)?

5.  How did this differ from what you expected to observe?

     I am trying to merge 3 files, I have read what post on the server but they
     are not very helpful.  I am not a programmer and new to this application.  
I
     use the ADD FILES but keep getting the error Warning: combining files with
     incompatible encodings. String data may not be represented correctly.  But 
I
     do not see any file to see the data represented.  Basically I do not have a
     clue and have searched on every subject and video I can think of to see if
     there are step by step instructions to fix this problem.  Can you assist.
     Wish there was a way I could do this thru the GUI.
