joining multiple mdfs

Hi all,
I have a database that I'll be moving to a new machine. The existing setup
has the data in 3 separate mdf files. The new machine has more than enough
space to accommodate the 3 files in the same location, as well as enough
room
to grow for the foreseeable future.
I've done a test load of the existing data onto the new server from the .bak
dump file. Since the data was in 3 files I had to restore it into 3 files. I
was wondering if it's possible (and how I would go about it) to join the
separate mdfs into one large one.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
RickOne possible solution is to restore the database on to the new server and
then use DTS transfer the objects to a new database.
There is not a way to combine the mdf files.
