Do you get a dialog that says replace/append/merge? I'm guessing append is
what you want, and it sounds like you're doing everything correctly.

The file? Right...

Hmm, I just tried and it seemed to work. What version of Tellico? The
entry#18.tc file should be a small file compared to collection1.tc. Could
you verify that? That would tell me if the problem is in the export.

Sorry, I probably did not explain it correctly. If I create an entry18.tc file (very small) and then import it and subsequently delete it I effectively add entry 18 to my collection 2.tc. What I meant was that if I do not create an entry18.tc file I cannot import it. I initially got the impression that I could import it directly (without creating an intermediary entry18.tc file) but obviously I was wrong. No big deal, the main thing is that I can now export from one collection to another

PS by the way my Tellico version is 1.3.4
