(You will get all books in the order of the selected key with the words selected in the title no matter the order in which the words are entered.) Example: If the author key is selected and H is entered as the beginning letter of the author's name, and you enter CAT in the Text Title Search box, you will get cat, cats, catalogue, catastrophe, etc. written by authors whose names start with H. When using the search by subject (Search Title Text), a box will appear for the word or words you are searching for. After entering the information, select OK and then press [Enter]. To stop the book search, select Stop Search located in the middle of the screen. NOTE: When you see the list of titles, books with an asterisk beside them are located in the master database only. When a book is adopted and added to the store database, the asterisk will disappear, letting those in the bookstore know that this book has been used in the store before. If a book in the database does not have an ISBN, our system will assign it a number beginning with MT plus the book number (for example, MT1234). This MT number will go in the ISBN field. (The Master Database assigns all books a book number, which is not the ISBN - this book number is viewable on some screens within MultiTrak.) If an ISBN is later assigned to the book, it will be updated with an update disk and the MT number will be replaced with the ISBN. To select a book from the list, click on it or highlight it and press [Enter]. Verify all information about the book to make sure it is the correct one. If all of the details do not match, continue the search. The information in the brown areas may be changed here if you choose. The <New Entry> button is to add book(s) not found in the Master Database. A book added with this option will then be added to the Local Store Database. On the New Entry screen there is a field for Book #, which will be filled in automatically by the system and cannot be changed. If there is no ISBN on the book, the computer will suggest an item number for it, some thing like MA (for manual addition) plus the book #, which is a negative number. For example, MA-1234 for a new book, MA-1234U for a used book and MA-1234T for a trade book. Remember, the system needs the SKU # (which is the ISBN for a book) to find an item, so we need to assign one if it doesn't have an ISBN. If you later get an ISBN for that book, you can go back in and change it. NOTE: All books added manually will have to be updated by the bookstore. They will not be included in the database update from The Master Database. ALTERNATIVE SOURCE PUBLISHER Alternative source publisher is usually a distributor (where you order the book). This information is located at the bottom left of the screen in the master book file. Examples:  Southwestern, Wadsworth, and Delmar are ordered from ITP. Trade books are ordered from Ingram, Baker & Taylor, etc. When you adopt a book, the alternative source publisher should be entered if you prefer to order from an alternate source rather than the listed publisher. When generating purchase orders automatically, the book will be ordered from the alternate source if one is entered! This is really a preferred source. Purchase Orders will be generated from this information. It can be added later, but you may forget, so do it while on this screen. If the book on the screen is the one you want to adopt for the course, select <Adopt Book>. This option pulls the selected title from the system database into the Local Store Database. It is entered into the store database both as a new book and a used book. When a book has been adopted, it is automatically entered on the POS side as inventory with no quantity on hand. Receiving, the book will update the quantity on hand. A new textbook will be entered into inventory with the ISBN as the SKU #. A used textbook will be entered into inventory as the ISBN plus the letter U for Used. And if you are working in the trade term (where the term code starts with a T</B&gt

, the book will be adopted into inventory as a trade book (the ISBN will have a T appended and no used book will be adopted into the system. After you adopt the book, enter the total number of books desired, and then the number of new books desired. The difference is assumed to be used books. These figures must be entered in order to create an open to buy situation. Answer Yes if the book is required for the course. Choose whether you want a shelf tag printed. NOTE: Book comments print on the shelf tags. Estimated Buy Back. Fill in how many books you expect to get from buy back. This will affect how many books will need to be ordered from other sources. When you do a buy back, the system teh number of books in the Buy Back. If this field is not filled in, the system will assume you don't want to buy back any. Fill in the Estimated Buy Back field to maintain the correct number of books to order. Ready to Order. If you are ready to order this book and don't need to review it again, click on Ready to Order. If you want to review it later, don't select Ready to Order. NOTE: book will not appear on a want list until a decision is made to order it. Select <Add Book to Course>. Once it's added to the course, the <Book History> button is available so you can see how many were used in previous courses. This could help you make your buy back quantity decision. All books adopted for this course and section will be listed on the bottom of the screen. That's the adoption process for one book. To adopt additional books, repeat this process. </BODY> <Object id=hhctrl type="application/x-object" classid="clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11" codebase="hhctrl.ocx#Version=4, 72, 7292, 0" > <Parm name="Command" value="HH Version"> </Object> </HTML> '++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Message Box: Internet Explorer Script Error     (Window Title)      an error has occurred in the script on htis page    line:   1    char:  29    error: syntax error    code:  0            Do yoy want to debug the current page               YES   NO  (Buttons) '++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

hit yes, you do want to debug. That can narrow down the answer so we have less to worry about in here. It could be a missing semi-colon in PopupValue = "International Standard Book Number." It might be the fact that you have a tag outside the body of your page. And please don't post an entire HTML document without a subject line or even a question.

Dear All, Liam said > And please don't post an entire HTML document without a subject line or even a question. Absolutely!! The code that is relevant to the problem should be all that is posted. Even better, try to reproduce the problem in a separate page that distills the code down to only the code that produces the problem. I usually won't even read a post that looks like the one in this thread, let alone try to provide an answer for it. "But, that's just my opinion... I could be wrong". -pete
