song book not seeing all files

[endofthetrail73]

i am importing my library..... however the songbook feature when run is not cataloging from the other sys.... both systems are importing to the same drive. when i explore to that drive all of the files are there.... how do i fix this?

OK, sounds like you are using two computers to import songs... correct?

Each system will only see the songs it imported until you rebuild the songs.mdb file. Here's how to do that:

Click on Configure > Build Song Database
a windows will open allowsing you to choose where files are stored, you can add multiple directories if necessary. Select where you want the songs.mdb file to be stored, (by default I beleive it is \Program Files\Micro Technology Unlimited\Hoster\Databases\
Once this is done you have to do the same for the other system.

As long as you tell it where you have stored all your files it should be able to read all the songs.

HOWEVER...and this is a biggie!! You have to make sure you are using unique BookIDs on each system. If you don't it will cause problems... (at least that is what I have heard)

Hope this helps,
