layersmapinfomerge
They are Census Block layers. The person on the website separated them into states so they can be download easier. I uploaded each states separate layer into MapInfo.
Now I need to merge the files into one US Layer.
They all have the same table structure and fields. I just downloaded MapBasic but I am unsure how to really use it.
I tried to laso the layers to select them all and then just save the selected. Only works on the top layer.
You can use MMQGIS tools for merging...
The merge layers tool merges features from multiple layers into a single shapefile and adds the merged shapefile to the project. One or more layers are selected from the "Select Source Layers" dialog list box and an output shapefile name is specified in the "Output Shapefile" dialog field.
Merged layers must all be the same geometry type (point, polygon, etc.). If the source layers have different attribute fields (distinguished by name and type), the merged file will contain a set of all different fields from the source layers with NULL values inserted when a source layer does not have a specific output field.
i hope it helps you...

Similar to @Rob Quincey - there is this tool called append2.mbx. I've used this one on similar projects to yours.
