Good morning, 

I am having difficulties performing what appears to be a simple task. I am
using MarcEdit version 5.6.4292... build date 10/2/2011 I believe this this
latest version. 

I have 2 sets of records one anemic one provided by EBSCO, the only valuable
part of the record to me is the 856 field

I also have my record set that includes supplemental information and
formatting. 

My goal is to have a set records with my information / formatting and the
correct 856 field. At this point it doesn't matter how the goal is achieved.

The record set is approximately 219 records if that matters. 

I have tried using the merge function with strange results e.g. 2 different
titles for a given record. My theory is that two record sets are not in the
same order. I am not sure if this matters.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
