Hi Steven, I forgot to mention that we also only check off the option overlay exact matches. Somebody else on the list may have more information about this, but, if I remember correctly, the option to overlay when "exactly 1 match is found" is only looking at one specific matchpoint. If you are selecting this option, it may be preventing the overlays from happening if the records aren't matching on that matchpoint.
