So there was a discussion going on that relates to my problem in May of '09, in which Joe Atzberger of LibLime said that Koha increments barcodes by checking the current MAX and adding one. Short question: how do I manually change the MAX value? We have around 100K records, and for some reason, Koha is auto-incrementing in the 800Ks. Oddly enough, I can't find any items in our catalog in the 800K's, either. Anyway, it's rather annoying to manually change every number, especially when you have multiple catalogers . . . On a development note, why don't we just have Koha increment from a current position, rather than from the highest? If we delete a large group of records, it would be very useful to be able to assign the old barcodes automatically by starting from the beginning of the "hole." That's what we did with our old system, anyway. So is there a way to do this already, and am I just missing it? Or what variable do I need to change to get Koha to increment from the right place? Thanks, Chris Morrison
