It is possible to relocate a list on a site?

I have a list that was built on our site at: Root Location\sub location1.

Another administrator on our site has created a new line of pages on our site for the same purpose being served by sub location 1 above... so now I have content for the project that the site serves both at root location\sub location 1 and root location\sub location 2. I am trying to merge these two sets of data into one area. Is this possible?

I have already tried saving the data lists from Sub Location 1 as templates with their content and moving them up to the root location, but I cannot see the stuff created in the sub locations up on the root locations.

Is there a way for me to get content of these two sites back into one area?

Many thanx!

Are you looking for a way to transfer the data between lists one time? Or,
are you looking to have the two lists continue to exist and automatically
remained synchronized?

If the former, you could open the two lists in datasheet mode, then copy and
paste the date from one to the other.

If the latter, there really isn't a way to synchronize a list between two
areas. Howerver, using FrontPage 2003, you can create a dataview of a list
in in various areas.

Sorry about repeating myself... the server told me that it had not accepted the first reply I posted.
