Hi Emily,

The file you export from Sierra should have a field 907 which is the record number. The record number should be your overlay point. Again, like Deann Hart said, check your load table and test one or two records. You don't have to do anything in MarcEdit if you load table already set up. 

Glad you started using MarcEdit, I can't imagine my work life without MarcEdit.

Good luck,

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] Overlay question

Hi all,
I am writing as quite a beginner to MarcEdit so please excuse me if this question is too elementary.  At my library we have a number of records that all need to have certain fields addressed and we have been able to export the marc files from Sierra and have made the necessary edits and saved the marc file for re-importing but the question I have is, what command do we need to put into the marc files so that they overlay on the existing bibs we extracted from Sierra?  Do you know what command we do in MarcEdit that produces the overlay command for each record?  Thanks for your help!  I appreciate your expertise on this one!
