Hi, Contacting the list yet again hoping for a solution. I've had ongoing problems with my project, which I've written here about before. When they resurfaced recently I tried to resolve by creating a new project, then merging my existing project into it as dataset 2, then deleting the blank dataset 1 created in the project set up. This seems to have worked but has left me with a problem that, if possible, I'd rather not address manually. I had a configuration saved that I used when checking for duplicate people. This had found about 6,500 potential matches, of which I'd marked about 6,400 as non duplicates. When I ran the check tonight, using that configuration, it found around the same number of potential matches, but had none marked as not duplicates. Rather than start again and mark off thousands of non duplicates, I would like to recover the output from the old configuration run and copy it to my 'new' project. It is important to stress that all the people and all of the data on the new project are exactly the same as on the old one. Hence 3 questions: 1. Is it possible to recover a file that has the marked pairs on it? 2. Is it possible to copy that file to the location of my new project? 3. If the answer to both the above is 'yes', is this safe to do? ANy suggestions appreciated. Tom

If the answer to both the above is 'yes', is this safe to do? When you run the Check for Duplicate People function and the Merge Candidates window is display, is the "Show excluded pairs" option selected (checkmark)? It is nbot selkected by default. Lee

Lee, The Show Excluded pairs is not selected - but the display tells me 6428 pairs of merge candidates and "Excluded Pairs 0" Tom On 28/02/2019 03:40, Lee Hoffman wrote: > At 2/27/2019 15:32, Tom Coughlan wrote >> I had a configuration saved that I used when checking for duplicate >> people.
