Re: Silver and Milacq vendors

["Barbara J. Laub" <blaub at maplewoodlibrary dot org>]

This happened to us as well.  The problem is related to the fact that 
III has changed the vendor file from a flat file to a database 
structure, adding room for a great many more vendors.  It is no longer 
possible to access the vendors from a simple drop-down list when 
creating an order record; instead you must look it up in this vendor 
database, requiring many more clicks.  This new enhancement is probably 
useful for large libraries with massive numbers of vendors; for a 
library like ours that only uses a few vendors it is a pain in the neck.

That being said, our vendor file also disappeared after the upgrade.  I 
called III in a panic, and they explained that it was not lost, only 
"hidden", and they were able to retrieve it in short order.  So call 
them and they will fix it for you.

Good luck.
