Building data base problem

I have a question and hope someone can help me

I have my system that I use to run shows and the one I work on at home to do initial upgrades and put in new disks. Then I put the kma files on a disk and move them over to the other system. The file shows that there are like 13,278 kma's in the folder, but when I build the database in hoster it only builds like 13,033 songs. I have check and the folder only contains kma files, and when I build the database on my home work station it shows the same number of files in the folder but it will build like 13,179 songs. This seems odd and I do notice that sometimes when I put in new songs and rebuild the database that sometimes other songs will disappear. Stuff that regulars sing and have sang and they are not there. Sometimes The number for a song is in the book and it is not in the system. Sometimes the number for a song brings up the wrong song. I will cross reference it with the song that came up and it still isn't there. Any suggestions or help out here?
Thanks in advance

1. What version of Hoster are you using?

2. Were any of these Imported Songs Imported from the Hard Drive?

3. If so, have you Edited any of the Songs Imported from the Hard Drive?

Why are you rebuliding the Database on the System that you copy your Songs to? If you originally Imported Sings on one Computer to, let's say Drive D where the Path for the Imported Songs was D:\MTU\Songs, then, if you are using the SAME designated SONGS Folder on your SECOND Computer, you can simply copy the SONGS.MDB from the IMPORT Computer to the COPY Computer, thereby, saving a lot of time.

If you do not use the SAME SONGS DESTINATION FOLDERS on BOTH Computers, you can, still, use the SONGS.MDB by performing a REPLACE of the PATH of the IMPORT Computer to the PATH of the COPY Computer.

For instance, if your SONGS DESTINATION Folder on the IMPORT Computer was: D:\MTU\Songs, all you have to do is perform a REPLACE of the DRIVE LETTER and the Sub-FOLDERS on your COPY Computer. For instance, if your SONGS Destination Folder on your COPY Computer was: E:\Songs, then REPLACE D:\MTU\ with E:\

Let us know about Questions 1, 2 & 3 above.

Hey thanks for the reply. Man I have been so busy I havn't even checked version I am using. I know I am behind on a couple of upgrades. And I can probably say for sure that both systems are probably using different versions. Hmm.. could that be part of the problem? Let me get all of that together and get back to you on that. As far as the rebuilding of the database, I have just been lazy and havn't learned how to use all the new features it has to offer. For instance when I get new stuff, I put it in a seperate folder and build the database with that folder and print out the new stuff then I rebuild it with both folders. I have just learned however how to do it the right way =)
So i'll do all the upgrades first, double check everything and then post the results here.

Thanks.
