Brian (or List members), I would be very interested in learning about how the MARC portion of Past Perfect works. We have it and I have no idea how to utilize it. It had been my understanding that MARC records could be downloaded into Past Perfect records but I have not been able to make that happen. Thanks in advance for your input and advice, Susan M.

I have another question. I have the MARC import upgrade for my pastperfect software. I need to modify the data map so that the two programs can read each other efficiently. Does anyone know the best way for a new guy to modify a data map without going insane? Luckily, the Past Perfect program auto fills much of the information but I have a sneaky suspicion that some items are being neglected. Thanks to all, once again, in their previous advice. Brian L.
