Compiling many projects into one

Hi to all,
Here is a (not so short question) on LaTex and I would appreciate any help.
I am trying to compile my thesis project and my problems are the following: Well I have until now three separate papers written as three separate projects in TeXnic. I want to compile those plus an introductory chapter into one TeXnic project in order to have common Table of contents and consecutive numbering (1.1, 1.2, 2.1 etc), that is to look like one united work. But at the same time I want each chapter to be independent, that is to have its own appendices and its own bibliography at the end of each CHAPTER and not at the end of the whole project. However, when I try to do this using the "book" format everything becomes a mess. The problems: TeXnic understands that the chapters after the first appendix are appendices too and the references also become a mess. Do you have any ideas at all?????
 
Many thanks
Pavlina

I would switch to the memoir class - AFAIK it supports this request. And
if not, you can surely ask the author to add such an option - he does
implement such suggestions. The only problem may be that TeXnic center
may not support memoir and you have to switch the environment. But I
don't use TeXnic center myself so I don't know how flexible it is.

Won't the chapterbib package  solve your bibliography problem?  And chapter appendices can be handled by using \section*?
 
Or am I misunderstanding the problem?

Many thanks. The "memoir" environment seems to work. And TeXnic Center does support it...
