The address that is created is c\users\....... \CALM\metadata.db There are also metadata_tools, metadata_backup and an empty text file

@Beltonmike:
You need to start over from the beginning. Read and follow the instructions embedded in the Target Library Tab.
You should first "Refresh" the Target Library. Then, specify the Source Libraries, which are your "real" Calibre libraries that have real books in them. Be sure to "save". Then, you must "Generate" your Source Custom Columns. You have never used the word "Generate", so I suspect you have not done so. It is
required. Read the ToolTips on that Tab. After a successful Generation, you click the "Execute Consolidation" pushbutton on the Target Library Tab.
Nuclear Option: If the above does not work, delete this file: C:\Users\Beltonmike\AppData\Roaming\calibre\plugin s\Consolidate All Library Metadata.json which is the configuration file that has been saved as a result of everything you have done so far. Then, manually delete the CALM target library (everything, including /CALM/ itself). Then start over from scratch.
If you still have problems, you
must attach to your next post "Screen Snips" (using the Windows 10 "Snipping Tool" located at "C:\WINDOWS\system32\SnippingTool.exe") of the first 3 Tabs. Also, attach the entire Job Log from the Consolidation Job after you copy it into a Notepad text file.
