I notice that the edit is ignored if you change "Philosophy" to "Philosophy", even if some entries have "philosophy" as the keyword. Easy to work around by multiple edits. As a side note, the group edit warning sheet doesn't play well with the new Leopard table editing, unfortunately. It takes a couple of tries before the edit actually starts. Probably easiest to check the box and disable it. -- adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
