Re: Dublicate problem?

[Lesha Fossey <L.Fossey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The release 2000 manual (19723) says that you can choose not to have duplicate 
checking prompted for (i.e. it's automatic) for items, patron or bib records 
WHEN CREATING NEW RECORDS. So your library must have certainly chosen to 
automatically check for duplicates on item records at least. However, you will 
still be promted for duplicate checking when UPDATING records.

So don't worry, when you're not asked whether you want to check for 
duplicates, that's because it's being done automatically, rather than not 
being done at all.
