Re: Locations Field

Thanks Nora - since its been a year or more since I asked for help, you can sense I'm not having problems, but when I do I know you guys will help. Promise I will search more thoroughly from now on. BTW, your program is now managing my wife's extensive book collection, 2800 titles in 12 locations. E...

Locations Field

My location ID field for each book won't show the latest Collection name I compiled. I can also see typos etc that suggests I need to do some maintenance on the database. I've searched the online help entries, and also here, but can't seem to see how I can add/delete/modify entries that currently sh...

Re: Moving Locations

Thanks for that - I'm basically using method 1 after I thought deep about it. Its a great program, and has been great for us 2 oldies who sometimes (most times) can't remember where the book we're looking for is stored. My daughter registered a copy a couple of weeks ago, and she mentioned how it im...

Moving Locations

Sorry if this has been asked before, but a search didn't turn anything relevant. I've got Bookpedia and have my collection spread over 12 locations. I am considering changing books around between locations, and can't determine the correct procedure. Say I want to move a book from Location 1 to Locat...

Re: I'm looking to buy DVDpedia, BUT....

Many thanks - I can see some problems with movies; often there are a number of them with the same title for instance. I'm happy to enter manually, as I'm only really interested in where the titles are located. Your Bookpedia program has been so good to me that I want to use DVDpedia rather than cons...

I'm looking to buy DVDpedia, BUT....

Perhaps its me, but when I downloaded DVDpedia and tried to trial it before I bought, the first 2 DVDs I entered returned crazy titles. e.g. I entered "Ray" (no inverted commas) - DVDpedia returned The Dark Knight. Story of Ray Charles, and a new title. I entered "And Justice For All&...

Re: Broken file?

Nah, I prefer to establish bookcases as locations, and I ALWAYS enter the book information there. I have another half who is not computer literate and it took me a while to get her persuaded to log all her books. She wants it by bookcase, by room, and what she wants, she gets. She's happy with the p...

Broken file?

Hi, I'm a really happy Bookpedia user, and have just now run across my first stumper. A few weeks ago I entered a book via 'Net ISBN access into a bookcase location, which normally also makes an entry into the Library folder. I was moving some books around today and was transferring file entries bet...

ISBN

Here are some ISBNs from well known authors' books.

ISBN Poblem

It seems like the problem I reported was not the prime issue. I made a column for ISBN numbers (I have a lot of books in this location), and as reported in my post, a heap of books did not show any number at all, although I'd used the ISBN inquiry window, so I knew I had put the number in to do the ...

New column in Table View

Hi, I've added a new column in table view for ISBN numbers. I've entered a number of books into a general place by error and I want to reclassify them into specific locations by sorting them by ISBN numbers, which is the record I've made of them in my my home library I used the series of ISBN number...

Thanks

Now why didn't I think of that! Simple as ABC, as a matter of fact I must have resized columns a thousand times or more, using Excal makes for good practice. Appreciate your help - be assured my questions will be fewer the more I use Boopedia, which by the way is exactly what we were looking for to ...

Renaming Collections

Hi, Can anyone enlighten me as to how to rename Collections please? I had a Collection entitled Rear Room W1". On opening Bookpedia tonight I find that's been truncated to "Rear Room". I want to change it back to "Rear Room W1". When I highlight the current title and have th...

Worked!

Thanks, it worked as you said. I was using the "Edit Extra Info" menu item instead of the "Edit book" item. Makes sense when I studied your reply. As to the Add entry, that's something for me to work on. I'm wrestling with terminology as a new user, but it will come. Much appreci...
