That would definitely require modifying the Koha source code. I'd recommend filing a bug report as a start. You'll probably need to hire somebody to write a patch to add this feature, but you never know! Kyle http://www.kylehall.info ByWater Solutions ( http://bywatersolutions.com ) Meadville

We could move to using DBIC's find_or_create method as an alternative: http://search.cpan.org/~ribasushi/DBIx-Class-0.082820/lib/DBIx/Class/ResultSet.pm#find_or_create I know I've submitted at least one patch that uses that instead of the classic INSERT statement. Kyle http://www.kylehall.info
