I have noticed that when I try drag a reference from one folder to another it doesn't move.
This behavior is intermittent:
When I first start the program it works.
Then after I do a search, or change a category, or something (It doesn't happen after any specific action that I can figure), I can't drag anymore.
So I restart the program, and I can drag.
Until this is fixed, is there another way to move references to folders other than dragging?
Thank you for your help,

I'm looking to set up the BiblioWeb module. Can I install Biblioscape on a Windows server like webhost4life.com? To allow others access to the web database, do they need a copy of Biblioscape on their computer, or just a password from me? Asking these questions before I take the time to set things up. Goal is to make the database we have put together available to a wider audience. If everyone who wants access needs their own copy of Biblioscape, this won't work.
Today I install the new biblioscape 9.
When I convert the database from v8 to v9, error happened. the error code is "ElevateDB Error #406 Invalid database identifier 'XXX' ".
Whats wrong?
Hi Paul,
I have been experimenting with v9 since it was released, with a copy of my working database converted to v9's format and other tweaks made to accommodate settings or customizations I had in v8. My daily work is done in v8, so when I make the final transition to v9 I will need to delete the experimental and now outdated v9 version of my database, will probably uninstall and reinstall v9, and start from scratch with a conversion of my up-to-date v8 database. (The ref types, styles, etc. may now be out of whack from my experiments with v9).
When opening an existing link that is a collection (of which the present record is a member), the resulting action is to display the collection list in an upper pane and a random record in the collection (likely the last record in the collection that was opened) in a lower pane. The system tray reference icon bears the name of that record, and if another record in the collection is clicked, the icon changes to the name of that one. OK so far (except the random opening is a bit confusing, instead of the present record that contained the link -- which would be the rational action).
I've upgraded the 8 version to de 9.0.6.3, and began working with my original database. The records, notes, categories, and other information have been correctly processed, but when I try to create a new item in the library, from the existing references, I get an error.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Drag and drop a reference in the "library"
2. You get this error: "ElevateDB Error #1011 An error ocurred with the value 23/01/2012 05:17:49 p.m (The value would result in truncation)"
3. It is impossible to create new items in the library.
Can you please tell me how to fix this?
For me, Undo command (CTRL Z) in v 9.0.6.0 works strangely in Edit Reference window. Sometimes it works by eliminating one last change only. Sometime it does not work at all. It works in some fields but not in others. Something seems broken.
Can we please have multiple Undo reliably working in all Edit reference fields (presuming this is the intention of the developers - if not, we need other safety measures in place).
Thanks.
How should one handle references with more than one attachment in Biblioscape? The items in question are analog audio tapes, where attachments could be scans of the tape box as well as one or more audio files. Is the only solution making one reference per attachment and then linking them together?
Thanks

Am I missing something? Why can I not see all the possible fields in Lookup in v9!?
Now that I cannot see the list of Call Numbers in the Reference Edit view (please bring this back), the only way to see them is via Lookup, I thought. But the Call Number field is not there... (along with many other fields)???!!!
Why did you remove auto-complete and the Lookup list view (available on the right vie the magnifying glass icon when the field is selected) from many fields in Edit Reference window. I am relying on them daily. Publisher, Place Published, Call Number are particularly important but all others are also in use.
In other fields, like Keywords, I do like the new auto-complete system but am still badly missing the view showing my all entries in the field.
