I got the impression from this post that they were duplicate DISKID's. Now I see they are duplicate BOOKID's Which is a horse of a whole nuther color. Dales suggestion to use merge to add the dupes would be what's needed.

Generally this problem only arises when you are using two different computers to import cdg's and you aren't taking care to avoid using bookid's already in use by the other computer. There are other scenarios as well but this one is the most common.
