I forgot what I did originally. Therefore I started a new account, made about 40 entries in one area then found that I had backed up the original into which I had made some entries too. My question is - is there a way that the two accounts can be combined into one without having to manually re-enter the latest information?

No. You cannot merge transactions from two businesses into one.

if the 40 entries you made are list items like inventory / customers / suppliers, you can make a batch update and copy the data to a spreadsheet program.

then in the original business file do the same, merge both data in the spreadsheet program and then paste the merged data back.

read the guide on batch operations [Manager Cloud](https://guides.manager.io/9572)
