[GNC] importing log files

Hi,

I have the following situation.

User "A" was making all the entries into GnuCash, but on a certain date
stopped using GNC.  I will call teh data file *GNC-A*.

User "B" took the GnuCash data file (GNC-A) from  user "A" and using a
different computer making some changes to the data (corrections) and
created new reports.  That worked very well. The resulting GND data file
I will call *GNC-B.
*


Unfortunately user "A" then restarted to enter transactions on the GNC-A
data file.   I will call that file *GNC-A-plus
*

So, I have two GNC data files with different data.


My idea is

 1. to take the log files created when user "A" was entering into the
    data file GNC-A-plus   (there are 23 .log files)
 2. import them into the data file GNC-B
 3. to create a GNC data file that has everything.

But GnuCash will not import the GNC-A-plus log files into GNC-B

Is the process that I am trying  to use logically valid? Am I making a
mistake?  Or can the log files not be used in this way?

I am using GNC v 4.8

Best,

Eric
