Hi Eric,
To get around this I cleared out the address information in the
masterfile and then just used the update option with the merge
command. There is probably a better way, but this works at least!
Thanks again!

I took that information, collapsed it, performed an outsheet, had all of the addresses verified/corrected via an address verification program, insheeted the results back into Stata, and saved it under a new file name. My challenge now is how to put my master file back together with the addresses that were just corrected. Any ideas?
