you need to take a good look at vern mcbride songs mdb
it looks like after he ran the merg command it shift the data
take a look at his mdb you will see what i mean

also when you added the fields to the new header did you take into account
the the old kma had less fields then the new ones
and could this be what happin to his songs mdb when he ran the merge command it had less fields to work with or more fields to work with
