We converted an Act Database putting most of the records into Leads and only
qualified records into Contacts.

I've been in the process of identifying and merging duplicates.

My latest test stripped all EMail addresses out of Leads and Contacts,
sorting them and identifying duplicates.

I can merge a Lead with a Lead
I can merge a Contact with a Contact.

Here's my problem:
If I convert a Lead to a Contact and then try to Merge the two records I
get an error followed by the following Script Error

Line: 291
Char: 1
Error: 'crmMergeForm' is undefined
Code: 0
URL:
http://deal.netleasecapital.com:5555/_grid/cmds/dlg_merge.aspx?iObjType=2&iTotal=2&sIds={0D0D0F27-84FC-DA11-91CB-001143D1B427};{D8EE10FC-D9C1-DB11-B891-

I haven't checked, but I assume the URL is for the two Contacts

Any ideas?

Works Ok on our end.

Some ideas:

1. Try to clear the IE Cache, reboot and try again.

2. Manually create two leads, convert to contacts then merge. Same issue as
the leads loaded from Act?

Thank you for your reply.
I don't know what you mean by clear the IE Cache. Are you suggesting that I
delete all of the temporary internet files?

Also, do you suggest doing this on the Client machine or the Server?

By the way, if I just "tickle" the record and save and close it, the error
goes away for that particular merge. Since I only have about 20 such
duplicates, I'll probably do just that to get around my problem.

Did you ever resolve this? I am having the same issue at a client site.

I haven't tested it lately to see if the problem still exists but I never
actually fixed it. I just added and deleted a space in a field and saved the
contact and the merge worked well. It was less brain damage to do it
manually than to figure it out.

If I had had hundreds of records I might have tried to a global replace of a
meaningless field to see if that would solve the problem.
