I agree, recycling a number that has already been generated by the data base is easier than deleting. This technique has come in handy for me on a number of occasions. I've gotten books mixed up when registering a large number of them during an evening.

While it is possible to delete entries, whether they're accidental duplicates or they pertain to books you decided not to label after all, I'd suggest that instead of deleting that entry from your bookshelf you consider "recycling" the BCID. That is, if you have some other book that you want to register, you could use that BCID for that book, and use the "edit book details" screen to change the bookshelf data to match it. [You don't have to do this if you'd rather not; it doesn't "hurt" the database to have a BCID deleted, and as long as there's no chance that someone will find a book with that BCID in it, deleting the record is perfectly OK. But re-using an existing BCID is slightly easier on the database than deleting a BCID and then registering a new book from scratch. Just a thought!] -GoryDetails "The light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train." - author unknown __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
