Hello Bo et al, Thanks very much.  I upgraded to 3.16.4 with some improvement. Fields in the source but not present in the target were lost. However, the Refactor tool worked well.  By making field names identical in the source and the target I was able to append new records to the master

Hi Springer You could try joining the databases using a common field assuming the second one does not have new point features.  However, I expect you are adding new point features. In that case, I usually write a little python script to generate a new set of features in the update layer

You can use processing algorithm "refactor fields" on the layer(s) that have fields to be changed. This operation will give you a temporary file/layer the same number of columns and -names as the original layer, but with column type(s) redefined by you. Afterwards you can merge the temporary

Thanks Bo, I tried a sample run but it failed: "TAG field in layer Tree Table All 2 PntType has different data type than in other layers (String instead of integer) Execution failed after 1.20 seconds" It looks like it can't handle differing data types and won't offer choices for merging
