Partial Household Merge does not allow you to select the Primary Guardian in 3.1
Problem
I tried to partial merge both members on HH 37597 to HH 46362. After clicked on Continue button, got a message saying the Primary member of the From household cannot be included in any partial merge!
How to merge these two households in RecTrac 3.1?
Solution
Yes, that can be a problem! The Primary Guardian (i.e. Family Member 1) is exempt from the Partial Merge process. RecTrac will not allow you to remove the Primary Member from its household.
To merge the Primary Guardian to a new household, you have you change the Primary Guardian on the household first. After that, you can merge the "old" Primary Guardian out.
Your best option for doing this is to use the Change Primary Guardian button found in Household Management. The "i" Information icon provides help for this, if needed.
