		Hello, 
 
I would like to merge the household and men's data files to use in my analysis.   
 
However, I have tried to merge using the household number but I get the error message  
"variable hv002 does not uniquely identify observations in the master data" 
 
I am using this command  
"merge 1:m hv002 using KEKR70FL" 
 
NB: I renamed the household number in the men's datafile from mv002 to hv002 
 
Kindly how do I go about merging the two data files as I cannot identify any other variable which I can use as an identifier. 
 
 
Thank you. 
 
Laura
