Inventory follow-up

[Vicki Sipe <vsipe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Colleagues
With the assistance of a summer student intern, we are going thru the error 
list reports generated by our inventory.  They are being compared to the 
items on the shelf.  Eventually I should have a list of those items which 
are truly lost, stolen, or strayed.  I would like to be able to go into our 
catalog and edit the Error Report, deleting the records of those items 
which are found, leaving behind only a list of the lost, stolen, or 
strayed.  If I could transfer the Error Report to a Review file, that would 
be useful.  But it appears that only the entire inventory file can be 
transferred to a Review file.  I can print the Error Report to e-mail and 
edit it with a word processing package, but this file contains only the 
error message, last 6 digits of the barcode, most of the call number (some 
volume numbers and copy numbers get chopped off), and the first 20 letters 
of the title.  I would like to be able to use Create Lists to select the 
fields to print out on the list, but cannot get the information into a 
Review file to use Create Lists on it.  So far the only way I can figure 
out to do this is to transfer the entire inventory file to a Review file, 
and edit out everything but the lost, stolen, or strayed.  This is alot 
more work than editing only the Error Report.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanx
