Yes, exactly. Think of the bar code reader as an extension of your keyboard, where the cursor is is where the typing (or input from the scanner) starts. For me, it has not only sped things up but removed the transcription errors. Those I was good at!

I have loaded many Bar Codes into Catraxx with a scanner. The one I use is just a generic USB Scanner bought from EBay (quite some time ago) for $A20 or so. Its not a problem, to Windows the scanner just looks like another keyboard. Using it saves a lot of transcription errors!

Ken, nah! Choral music rocks (or is that a mixed metaphor?) I have not got back prior to the early Renaissance yet, before that is sort of all Greek to me. More seriously, why not note the birth (or death date) as 01.01.01 and use the Alternate names field as a comment to add the proper details. I d...

If you can find a copy of Microsoft Access and open the Catraxx database file with that you can find the corrrect library file (Audiofilelink), sort to identify the files you wish to change select, and then use find and replace. but for the sake of your sanity, do backup first.

I am possibly (probably!) missing something but could you not treat your 4 "not found" albums as stand alone albums, add them to your data base, add the detail as you normally do and submit to CDDB. Then delete them from your data base. You should then be able to add them to your box set in the norm...

Thanks Dave. With my rudimentry SQL skills I now have this in Catraxx. Goodness knows why, I seldon ask the shopkeeper for a case of XXIV cans of the cold stuff!
