Thanks, Karen! That's what I was afraid we'd have to do (so I'll keep an ear out for any additional suggestions). We have a definite lag time with check-in, so it's much easier to use batch files.
Is there any way to set a future date for check-in? I like to use one consistent weekend date for inventory so it's clear how the book was last seen. --Katelyn.
