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?
