<p class="MsoPlainText">Vicki....you are SO SO SO right about
the manual entry
causing a world of problems. You'd think that allowing us to
configure the
field as a drop-down if that's what we needed would be a great
enhancement. If
you have your browser settings set to auto fill, as long as
you get the first
entry correct, then train people who enter the data to always
choose the entry
from those that "pop-up" when you start filling, it should
work.
It's when people don't pay attention that it really sucks
(pardon my French.)
And the fact that it is case sensitive also causes problems.

help people to fix
this, but just haven't had the time. Maybe if we all sent
them the same

<p class="MsoPlainText">We are new to Library World and I am

the settings.
However, when I <o:p></o:p></p>

drop-down box with
choices. Do I <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">need to manually enter the "type" for
