Hello,
This is easy to rectify. You need to be in read-write exclusive mode when you open the database.
To change one term to another highlight the term you want to change, right click and click on global edit. Enter the new term in the 2nd box and click OK c- whether this is an existing term in the list or a completely new one. It should also delete the old term from the list automatically.
But I've noticed that sometimes the term remains in the list. Just highlight it, right click and click on Purge then OK. RM will remove terms that are in the list but have no records using it.
We use the synonyms function with care as we do not want to link too many terms together but where used judiciously (often for corporate authors who have changed names) it is very helpful.
We sometimes get the error message using v 11.0.1 but just ignore it and it is not a problem.

Dear John,
I've also got some of those. They are keywords from ÿ up to ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ and are in references which have lost an author at some point. If I try and global edit them out then I will get the message:- "Database error (12031) has occurred whilst attempting to access this database"
My concerns are that these keywords will multiply and also that part of the database (Refman v11.0.1) has an error, even though a very recent rebuild showed none.
Has anyone any ideas?
Kind regards
George Grimble
