Hello,
Following a PC failure, I need to merge two .cm files.
The first one dates from September 2015 to December 2022.
The second one is from January 2023 to today.
How can I merge them into one?
It’s impossible with the Budget Plus software.
Thank you if you know the procedure.

Hello,
I have this in a corner of my PC, I've never used it (I use another application).
I suppose you need to Application-Exporter-File CMI from the most recent period and then import it into the oldest one.
Hello,
thank you for your response, but the files are saved in (.CM).
So when I run the import function, it tells me it doesn't recognize this file format!
I even tried changing CM to CMI, and I got the same response.
This seems quite complicated to me.
Do you have any other ideas?
Hello,
As I told you, I don't practice.
The .CM files seem to correspond to the ledger itself or a backup copy (Application-Backup) where the transactions are exported-imported in CMI (or OFX) format.
The default installation of the software creates a ledger called CYBERCIC.CM in the working folder.
Apparently, a CM ledger or backup cannot be imported but can be opened by selecting Application-Open.
Under these circumstances, if we want to merge the two backups, I probably need to successively open each of them and export it to a CMI file, then, by selecting Application-New, create a new ledger that I will name Tartempion, which will be in CM format, and into which I will successively import the 2 previous CMIs.
