[Papyrus-L] copying

[Dr. Bryna (Rina) Bogoch]

thanks john, but that is not exactly what i want to do, even though the 
procedure that you recommend may be similar.  i have two existing 
databases, and i want to import some records from one into the other.  i 
made a group of the records i wanted to import in database 1, but when i 
wanted to import it into my database 2, papyrus told me it could not 
open it.  how should i proceed.  thanks, bryna
