FYI -- I took a look at how marcedit is handling .mrk8 files to make sure that there wasn't old code that might be causing a problem. There isn't. Around 2010, started treating .mrk and .mrk8 files exactly the same way, so they call the same code. So, I'm not sure what's causing the problem you are seeing because I can't recreate it -- but it has nothing to do with the extension. Just wanted to clarify since I'd mentioned yesterday that the .mrk8 file extension has pretty much been deprecated.

I gave that file a try using 6.2 and didn't have any problems. So it doesn't seem to be the file.

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] MarcEdit adds duplicate records when fields are deleted from a file?
Hello everyone!
We seem to have the following problem in MarcEdit:
We have a file of 511 Canadian University Presses marc records (the file is available for download at http://booksnow.scholarsportal.info/marc/subscribed/ACUP_2014_2015__511.mrc.zip).
When we break the file into .mrk8 and use the Add/Delete Field Utility to delete specific fields (e.g. 003, 006, 035) each time 200 duplicate records are added to our file (we started with 511 records - after deleting 003 field we had 711 records, after deleting 006 we had 911 records, after deleting 035 we had 1111 records).
Is there something wrong with our file or is this a bug in MarcEdit Add/Delete Field Utility?
Has anybody else experienced the same problem?
(We have tested this on several different machines - both in version 6.1 and 6.2)
Thanks very much for any advice!
