Due date and expiration are two different things. You need to edit the patron account to set an expiration date in the future. I don't know how the due date box is controlled in your version of Koha. --Joe On Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 11:56 AM, Sudha Ramakrishnan <sudhumma@hotmail.com>wrote:

Hello,

I am setting up a school library for my daughter's church school. Am using an older version of Koha.

We encountered a problem while working with patron records in the Circulation module – was filling out the patron information and then tried to check out a book – a message popped up indicating that the membership has expired. The due date preference box has years up to 2008. Could that be a reason? Or does Koha automatically update itself?

Thanks, Sudha
