Hi! I'm new here :) So hello everyone!

My little problem is the following:

I just changed my screen name at Party Poker, and now Hold'em manager obviously takes my new screen name as a new player. Even though I only had less than 10k hands with my other screen name, I would like to have these hands as well for my analysis.

How can I solve this issue?

I was thinking on exporting hands as files and then run a script to replace -oldscreename- to -newscreenname-. Then re-import again to the database... But... Is there an easier way to do it? Like using the database management dialog? Or accessing the database somehow?

Thanks very much!

Just join the 2 screen names with an alias.

The 'Player Alias' option is to connect 2 different poker site names together, under a new, unique Alias name. Before you can create an alias you want to be sure you can find your various site names. If you only play 1 site there is no need for an alias. FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Player Name & Alias (http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/33/Player+Name+%26+Alias+)

The 'Hero Names' option is to help the HUD know where you are sitting at the table.

Cash Games > Reports > Click 'Change' and search your Poker Site name. You can also click the Arrow and choose Player Search. Do not click the drop-down arrow. That opens a list of previously searched names.
