You don't need select for this simple one. Use: q drmedia * wheresate=vaultr
You can use same command with all other states to see where they are. I have our vault send me an inventory about every 2 months and I compare. You have to remember that their "snapshot" of the Vault and yours will need some adjusting. It's sort of like doing a reconciliation of your bank statement. (Like what we have sent them that they hadn't vaulted yet when they ran their list, etc.) David Longo >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/14/02 11:12AM >>> Does anyone have a easy way to find out which tapes are supposed to be in the vault? I need to check every so often to make sure the operator is bringing back the tapes correctly. I'm not sure if the following is correct: select volume_name as "Tape Number" from drmedia where state='VAULT' OR STATE='VAULTRETRIVE' OR STATE='COURIERRETIRVE' If I run this I get a list of tapes that I should find in the vault right?
