Deleting The BookID from the Song Books

[rsmith49er]

Is there a way for me to remove the BookID category from my songbook, without removing them one at a time? I am creating a songbook and have no need for this category.

i know your probably set in your ways when it comes to the songbook, i was until i bit the bullet and went MTU's way. it is the best way to go !! when all you have to do is plug in one number to retreive a song and all the people have to do is put down one number on the slip......need a say more ???

Well said Bevis.

The BookID was "demanded" by our users a long time ago. It has cost us tens of thousands of dollars to create it, insure it is always unique, and upgrade it over the past 6 years.

BookID is the primary index key in the Database and yes, as you have discovered, it cannot be removed from the Song Book. Follow Beavis' advice and your singers will love it.

When they give you the BookID, all you need to do to add it in Hoster is click the BookID Button in the Add Tracks group, and type in this 6 digit number along with their name any any keychange, and click the Add Track button. If you type even moderately well, you can enter a song this way in about 10-15 seconds.

Hi Guys,

Sorry to bring up an old thread... any help would be appreciated.

I would also lile a way to NOT include Song ID in my new song books for singers.

It's one more thing I need to tweek when creating the books in MS Publisher..and to be honest... I don't even use the ID.. I search by song or title

Hoster is that good!!!

Am I S.O.L ?

I think I already know the answer but thought I would ask

Thanks

So you want a check box to disable the BookID in the output Songbook RTF file?
