Thank you Joy! It was the leader position 6 that was doing it, that was set to Language material. That explains the problem! I didn't think to check there. Phew. On Tue, Jun 6, 2017 at 8:25 PM, Joy Nelson <joy@bywatersolutions.com> wrote:
Elaine- Have you tried editing your leader first. The leader on this record is set to monographic. If you change the leader, you should be able to change the 008 tag and have it save correctly.
leader: fixed length control field nam a22 7a 4500

Please tak a look at biblio 75117 - http://catalogue.efdss.org/ It's a sound recording, but it insists that it is a book. The 007 is set for sound recording, but the material type in the 008 always says Books. I have tried at least a dozen times (and two different browsers) and I can not change it to say sound recording. Every time I edit the 008 it changes back to book. If I edit other parts of the 008, those changes stick, but not the type of material. I downloaded the record, edited it off line and uploaded it again, and the 008 *still *reverted to book.
I know the Fixed field pop up editors have compatibility problems with adblock and such, so I've used Firefox without add-ons or extensions, and also a plain version of Chrome. We're currently running 16.11.08
I am checking with the cataloguers to see if they have seen this elsewhere, or if it's just one rogue record. They're about to start in on a large collection of recordings so I hope to solve this soon.
Any ideas? Anyone else seen this sort of thing?
Thanks
