Damnit, I can't revive my thread because it's past the 90 day limit (http://www.brentroad.com/message_topic.aspx?topic=31425. But this is still a problem.

"When I was attempting to add books on the book exchange earlier, it occured to me that it would rock if you could add the course numbers to their names. Say I want to add a book for ST 370. I select the department: statistics, and then you have to select a course. But there are just course names, not numbers. If you had the number 370 next to whatever the name of the course was (i forget), life would be so much easier. "

I never know the names of the courses. Some of them are very similar. Others are having this problem as well.

I'm subscribed to a damn book, the link on the emails to unsubscribe doesn't work...grrr, make it stop.

oh i'll look into it...a LOT of the backend stuff has changed since it was first written, so thats probably what screwed it up.

Hmmmm not sure whats going on...I just added one fine. What did you try to add?

I just rewrote the book addition/edit part of the book exchange to utilize the same backend as the school tool....hopefully it should run a bit smoother now. Lemme know if there are any problems...

I had probs entering a book as well. I am trying to add ST 370 but when I click ST it vanishes and goes to the next field. I then enter 370 and it too disappears. Am I doing something wrong?

Should be working now...just some problems with depts with less than three letters; the databinding expression was padding the value with spaces out to three characters. This screwed up the string comparison used to make the appropriate option selected.
