Anyone got an easy solution
 

I have a file that contains personal details, training details and
costs & income. There has now been a change in the way we are to
claim the income and provide reports. Unfortunately we are still
required to maintain those on the old process as well as the new
process.

What I thought of doing was creating a new file for the new process,
keeping it in the same directory as the old process and somehow create
a master file that will give us a list by name and whether the person
is on the 'old' or 'new' file. It would be nice if a new person is
added that some of their data is automatically entered on to the
master file.

We are not good with Access so it is not an option at this time.

cheers
