Do you mean to say that specifying a range of biblio numbers for
records that have no attached items should produce a 'no records
matched' message?  I'm curious as to why it does not match the records
- they all have biblio numbers, even though they don't have items.
Why does the lack of items prevent the biblio records being exported?
I'm not the most techy person at the best of times. Am I missing some
vital point, or is it a flaw in the system?
