Would it be less dangerous to use the SQL to local the records but instead of insert into old.issues replace the NULL value with a patron record that you created for this purpose - I'd suggest a patron type with no fies :-)? That way if you had the items in hand you could check them in, staff could look for the items on the shelves to check in any that are already shelved and you'd then know what items where still checked out. The normal check in would correct any that were returned by patrons later.
That's an excellent suggestion. Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton VP, Research & Development, LibLime galen.charlton@liblime.com p: 1-888-564-2457 x709 skype: gmcharlt
