Kathleen, I'm glad to know I'm not going crazy. The problem of the save function not working properly used to happen to me quite often (not so much lately). Since no one else mentioned it on the list, I assumed I was just making some stupid mistake I was not aware of.

I've seen something that may be similar to what you're seeing. Sometimes
the Save button doesn't seem to actually save the record. I noticed last
week that when this happens, "find" doesn't see the unsaved changes. In
these cases, when I close Marc Editor, I'm asked if I want to save the
record (even if I've just tried to save it with the Save button). At
this point, if I click "Yes" when asked if I want to save the record,
the changes are present when I re-open Marc Editor and "find" works.
I've noticed, on my system at least, a quick flicker when the Save
button *does* work, so if I don't see the flicker I know to close and
re-open Marc Editor (saving when asked) if I need to do a "find."
I haven't noticed any particular file characteristic or edit that
triggers this failure to save. I've had the Save button work and not
work at different times on the same file. (And I wasn't able to trigger
the problem in a test file this morning.)

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] Another oddity
Hello again,
I started in again editing the batch of 1291 records. When I did a
"find" on a certain text string, I edited the first record highlighted,
then saved the file. When I repeated the "find" with the same text
string, the edits on the first record had not been recorded, although
when I did a "find all," this record was no longer listed. Another
oddity was that after editing the first "find" and then repeating the
"find," I retrieved no more records. Yet if I did a "find all" on the
same text string, I retrieved 7 matches.
I'm not sure if I'm explaining this sufficiently. Terry, do you want me
to forward you the file?
