Yea that was where I was heading. I guess I'll just have to  
experiment on the exact SQL. :-)

Try attaching the other database using the attach command and then
you can use an insert into

You can refer to the tables using a prefix (ie attchedDB.tablename)
so you can do

        insert into attacheddb.table1 select * from table1

and table1 is in the db you originally opened

updates would be similar with various where clauses to make sure you
only update the correct set of records
