How to connect points with a line vertically

Folks:
This is what I have done. I have loaded in two shapefiles containing the same data points. In one shapefile I used the Attribute Calculator to scale the elevation values from positive to negative values. In the other I multiplied all elevation values by zero. This has resulted in two shapefile layers for point data positioned over one another - X,Y's are all identical; however, the elevation values for any two points stacked on each other are different.
I am trying to connect each point stacked vertically with a vertical line. This resulting line would represent a vertical well bore path.
I have tried the advance create tool and any line that I can generate is connecting points in a horizontal plane. I can select the stacked points using the digitizer tool but I can only connect a single set of stacked points individually. Is there a way to connect the points vertically by selecting all?
Thank you in advance.

Folks:
Is this a trivial matter and I am overlooking the tool to be able to do so?

Hi Chuck,
Sorry...looks like I missed this when you originally posted it.
You should be able to use Advanced Feature Creation | Create New Line Feature from Selected Points. When asked to specify the maximum distance between points, use a very small number (e.g., 0.001). This should connect vertically the points that have the same X and Y.
Cheers,

Thank you very much . . .
