Hi Keith Schwartz:

My suggestion would be for you to set up a new customer number for the new 
surviving company (from the merger) and thereby retain records in the system 
for all three companies independently.

I think it's clearer this way and it gives you a clean trail to specific 
transactions by either the current or former companies.

If you merge the prior companies into a new company or into one of the 
surviving prior companys, you loose this trail or in the least, it get very 
blurred.

It's a judgemental call.  :-)

If you decide to merge the data, I suspect that you would have to use a utility 
program (such as DBU or PDM) to modify the appropriate Mapics Master Files.

Regards....
