Rich,
Thank you Rich, you are right about there being a unique identifier (which
there is separate to the catelogue number).
Being still at a relatively beginning level in understanding DataPerfect I
am not clear on the steps I need to take with the report to achieve what I
set out below. I would appreicate some help with these steps.

I would like to know if it is possible in DataPerfect to do the
following:
1. A panel contains records which share the same catalogue number.
Unless the catalogue number, or some other unique identifier is present,
and is
used in the index, the new record will be rejected as a duplicate.
2. I wish to create new records which are duplicates of existing
records but
the only field that is to change is the catalogue number.
This will work as long as the catalogue number is used in each index.
3. Whether it is possible to create a report which can copy all the
required
records (selected by catalogue number), create new records with the data
from the required records and insert the new catalogue number.
This should be relatively easy, as long as the new catalogue number is
automatically generated.
I would appreciate help with this.
