Chris, Chris, Editing the sql fixed the problem! I also had to change the default value from null to zero, so it would take This is the version we are at: Koha 3.00.02.012. We haven't updated since we installed it back in March. We were looking at making use of the withdrawn field recently but I don't recall tweaking anything. The guy who works with me on Koha is on vacation. He may know the origins of this change. Thanks so much for solving this problem for us. Catalogers are very good company to keep when they cannot edit or add items.

Wow!!! That's it!!! I just looked at an earier saved koha database and it is "wthdrawn" but our current iteration has it as "withdrawn." I am perplexed. We did add the authority values to add SUPPRESS, but I don't think we touched any other values. Is "withdrawn " with an "i" a default auhtority value? I guess I could just edit the SQL structure the table.

You didn't 'upgrade' to one of the Koha based forks did you? I have seen that withdrawn change in at least one of them. Chris
