Thanks for all the replies to my original message.   Here's the current 
state of play.....

Luckily (or I suppose it could have been forward thinking) there are no 
duplicate customers.  There are no duplicate orders either but there are 
duplicates on the Consolidated Ship file (MBKJREP) and the packed 
container file (MBKFCPP).   Because of this we are only going to change 
master files (customer etc.) and outstanding orders.  We are not going to 
change any of the shipment/invoice files.  The old companies we be kept 
but will be used only for inquiries and they will be ignored in IFM once 
it's installed.

I've currently got a list of about 80 files that will need changing,  I 
would have guessed higher than that.
