my EOD data.<span

I have just downloaded the entire EOD data for the
ASX, 2000+ stocks,
into my US database.
My US database should only contain the contents of
the Nasdaq100 & the
S&P500. 
What is the easiest way to correct the situation?
It occurs to me that I could just transfer individually
the N100/S&P500
members somewhere using Symbol>Organise assignments, 
delete the
remainder, and transfer the transferees back.
Is there a better/easier way?

Now don't tell I'm the only one ever to have done this?
That would really
hurt my feelings.

While not wishing to excuse my ineptitude, I believe
this MAY have been
avoided if the receiving database was listed prominently
on the Import
Wizard dialogue boxes. 

TIA
