Hi, Thankyou all for your help and answers. I can use these as future references. The problem was clicking on the import button *more than once. * My work colleague didn't think anything was happening as it was taking a while to import the records because it was quite a large batch so she *clicked on the import button more than once *which created duplicates half way through the import process. It was confusing because whilst I was editing and checking these records there was only one bib record for each duplicate and the correct number of records had been imported. When it came time to revert the records,* I clicked on the revert button more than once.* When our IT cleaned up and reindexed the system and we started the process again it worked properly as we only clicked on the import and revert button ONCE! Problem Solved :-) Regards *Frances Sandeman* Library Technician On 24/03/2010 11:13 PM, koha-request@lists.katipo.co.nz wrote:

Hi,

We thought we had successfully imported 2669 records into koha and had no problems bringing the records up when searching for them by title. Everything looked good, however while I was editing them I discovered half way through duplicates of each bib record. There is only one bib record but when I do a search on the title it brings up a duplicate record for each title. When we tried to un import to revert these staged records only the first 6 records reverted and the others remain imported. Does anyone know why this is happening and how we can fix this problem? Also how do we prevent duplicate copies in the future?

Thankyou

Regards,

*Frances Sandeman*
