No - not at all, as I said below, I can highlight it - just not do
anything with it. <br><br>
700$a looks exactly like 100$a which I can edit, delete, etc at will -
and you'd think that the authority would treat them the same, or maybe
even give higher priority to the "primary" author. <br><br>
For the record, all other 700 fields are fully editable.<br><br>
I'll fiddle with your suggestion tomorrow - but as you say, it is a bit
drastic and SQL can be a tad touchy.<br><br>
Thanks - Paul<br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>You can edit all of your frameworks
to "unlink" MARC fields to authority types, or if have acces to
the database, you could execute:<br><br>
UPDATE marc_subfield_structure SET authtypecode = NULL WHERE authtype IS
NOT NULL;<br><br>
A bit drastic but it will get rid of all links to authorities in the
frameworks.<br><br>

Subject: [Koha] Editing a biblio record<br>
To: "koha" <koha@lists.katipo.co.nz><br>
Received: Friday, November 26, 2010, 5:40 PM<br><br>
We are "experimenting" in preparation for importing some 16,000
*book* <br>
entries from Excel spreadsheets into Koha (Koha 3.00.06 on Ubuntu Server
<br>
10.10) using MarcEdit.<br><br>
I have run into a snag editing a MARC biblio record using <br>
<<a href="http://koha-admin/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=xxx">http://koha-admin/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=xxx</a>>.
<br>
We unfortunately got the "Title" of the Author (Sir Max Aitken)
(100$c) <br>
into 700$a as a co-author.<br><br>
I can add|correct 100$c without difficulty, but cannot in any way delete
or <br>
modify 700$a - I can highlight it with the mouse, but the keyboard is
<br>
totally unresponsive.<br><br>
Any suggestions warmly welcomed - thanks.<br>
Paul<br><br>
