Jess,
Ok, just for grins, would you mind sharing with me how I can go about changing the counter? Whether it's malignant or not, it is really annoying me... BTW, Mr. Adrian Monk is on tv tonight, and I'm sure he'd agree with me.

So you have a bit of CDO (the letters should be in ALPHABETICAL ORDER, dangit)? ;)
Anyway, the SQL you need is:
ALTER TABLE biblio SET AUTO_INCREMENT = 18
(after you delete the biblios after the jump)

Jesse, Awesome, thank you, very much. :-D So, what I've done, for anybody else who might want to know: UPDATE biblio SET biblionumber = 21 where biblionumber = 24; UPDATE biblioitems SET biblioitemnumber = 21, biblionumber = 21 WHERE biblioitemnumber = 24 ; ALTER TABLE biblio AUTO_INCREMENT = 24; ALTER TABLE biblioitems AUTO_INCREMENT = 24; This worked perfectly (unless I've messed up something else that I don't know about yet). :-) So, if I might ask another question... I can do a search for say "guide", and get several books listed. It seems, though, that I cannot do a search for "*". How can I list all (24) of the books in the library? 24 down, ~1450 to go... -- John Wesley Simpson Hibbs <john@swajime.com> SwaJime's Cove
