    Hi Jamie

    its best to post the Batch Code when you ask a question so that a Potential Helper can see your batch and read its specific instructions. It looks like MXXX-XXX and is at the end of your batch’s name enclosed in brackets [. ]. Or you can just post the whole batch name.

    But, in general, each “eligible” grantor-grantee pair gets its own entry/“line.” So if you had 2 grantors and 3 grantees for a transaction, you’d need 2x3=6 entries to properly capture them all.

    Some projects don’t want grantor or grantee corporations indexed (they’re not “eligible”), and instruct you to Ctrl+B, I.e., <Blank> the grantor or grantee field in those cases, And for such projects, if you encounter a grantor-grantee pair where both are corporations (or the like) you’d skip that pair and make no entry.

    So, carefully study your project’s examples, project instructions and field helps - purple question marks by the field name when you click on the field.

    Please post your Batch Code.

    Thanks.
