This is not correct. As Admin said the Bucket is only used on initial Import of songs to insert the information (Artist, Title, Track#, and DiscID fields) first into the table for the tracks that you see and can correct at that time or can use Edit Songs to make corrections later. Then when you click to Import the info is written into the KMA file header.
When you use Access to make corrections to the Songs.mdb instead of doing it through the Edit Songs then those KMA headers do not get the changes. So if you do a Rebuild of the database then you will lose all those changes.

On Rebuild all of the KMA file headers ARE read to recreate the Songs database. Even if it could update the Bucket that way, your changes would not be included because you only changed the Songs database.

This one is easy enough to answer. Would KJPro or any of the other karaoke songbook companies allow everyone to change their base database file? Not a chance. You can make corrections to your songbook that you create in their program but not the main listing. So if you create a new songbook your changes would not be included. What you are asking would not fix your problem anyway.
The only way you will prevent your problem from happening is to use the Edit Songs tool to make your corrections.
