Hello:
I was searching for duplicates, and when finding them each time I chose to merge them I received the error messages. "Can not create file..." What has gone wrong and how can I fix it?

Sadly and for whatever reason this seems to be happening more often as the life of RM7 progresses.

Look for the .DUP file inside the folder where your RM database is. It will have the same name as the database with the .dup extension. Delete it. Then after a fresh restart of RM run all the File>Database Tools.

Shouldn't have to delete the .dup file. It is supposed to persist through successive Duplicate Search Merge operations and accumulate all those pairs the user has designated 'not a match' so they are not offered again as potential duplicates.
I was about to express the same concern, this "not a duplicate" list is a valuable body of work which I would not wish to start over.
