Hi Carmelo, Thank you for the suggestions.
I am using Windows 8.1, and TPS Dig2 (v2.17 64 bit). Not sure if there are any known problems in that version...I tried copying the separate TPS to the same file, as well as all the necessary images, but when I tried to append using the Append files option in the file menu of TPS Dig2, I received an "access violation..." error. Any idea what that means? I am not very handy with command prompt, unless I have specific instructions. Could you provide me some more detail on that approach, with the steps needed? Perhaps I will try that.
