Good discovery. The Delete function was not intended to be available in the Search dialog. The only way to delete songs is in the Edit Songs dialog, which has safeguards against accidental deletion, and also lists the BookIDs that have been removed from the Song Book. I have fixed this.

By the way, Delete was also appearing in the Singers List window, but it doesn't make sense there either, so I fixed this, too.
Just noticed this, isn't the delete function in the singers' list used to remove songs from the singers list. Unless I am misinterpreting this somehow, this would be a useful function, wouldn't it?

I think posting quotes like this are confusing to look back on and get out of context with the title of this thread.
You can still delete songs from the main singers list and playlist or use the edit flyout from the singers list that shows from the search. This only removes them from those list not the songs.mdb.
The delete was removed from the search dialog but there is an edit drop down there which will take you to the edit screen.

Bryant, isn't it just as easy to highlight the song and hit the delete radio button?

Has anybody got an answer about the Manual.

My link in Hoster for the Manual does NOT work.

My link is at the top of Hoster and it does nothing.

I don't know why it doesn't take to the manual but you can go to MTU.com and find the manual there.

I don't know why yours isn't working, Have a look in your C\Program Files(86)\Micro Technology Unlimited\Hoster folder, do you see a file there named "Manual" if so open it and see if it contains a lot of files then look for "hosterman.htm"or "hoster-frame.htm if it does click one see if it opens the manuel.

If that opens it then it seems the link is Brocken in your Hoster.
If that is the case try renaming the the "Manuel file" then reinstall Hoster see if that rebuilds the link.

[nfountai]

I can see the folder you mentioned and I can click on the link in the folder and it does open.
I tried reinstalling and that does not help

Maybe uninstall, remove registry components and reinstall?

The only part that I am worried about are the singers.

I spent all day organizing singers songs at a club I karaoke at for the singers list and I don't want to loose them because I deleted all there songs in the open list.
Is that possible? This not a high priority for me just a small inconvenience.
Thanks Roy

Hoster version 5.10.01 has just been released!

Nfountai,
If you are having a crash issue, delete the folowing files from the C:\ProgramData\Mtu.com\Hoster folder

BodyDisplay.htm
BodyDisplaysm.htm
BodyFrame.htm
BodyFramesm.htm
MarqueeDisplay.htm
MarqueeDisplaysm.htm
MarqueeFrame.htm
MarqueeFramesm.htm
SingerDisplay.htm
SingerDisplaysm.htm
SingerFrame.htm
SingerFramesm.htm

It should then open fine.

I get an error message when installing.

"Error 1706. No valid source could be found for product Hoster. The Window installer cannot continue."

But it did continue and finished installing, rebooting and everything seems the same for me.

Bryan,
Nfountai is not having a crash issue, he has 2 other problems,
1) the Hoster manuel doesn't open when he selects it.
2) when he right clicks on a playlist song and selects to add to a singers list it will only add the first time, once he has one song added to a particular singers list no more will add through this right click option to the same singers list.

nfountai, If what I have written above is wrong please correct it.

The 1706 error has been around a long time, you are told to ignore it on one of the install pages, I get this every time I re-install, just ignore and it still installs correct.

Roy,
Thanks for the Info! I got lost between a few of the issues in the thread.

Nfountai,
Please contact me at Support@mtu.com so I can try to setup a time to get into your system, I will be out of the office the rest of this week, Wends-Friday (17-19). So if you had some time today, that would work good, if not might have to wait till next week.

My wife's 16 gB ram Shuttle P.C. had a crash last weekend with 5.09.02. It was during a song and the song just stopped abruptly and then Hoster closed out instantly w/o a warning message. This is her second one since installing 5.09.02 over 5.09 beta 3 about a month ago. She never had any before with the beta 3. She is afraid to use this for a karaoke contest coming up. When she opened hoster back up the extended screen only filled half the screen vertically. My laptop has seen several of these abrupt stops too in the past month with 5.09.02. Anyone else see these at all?
