I hope you follow me on this, because I'm in for some long nights otherwise....good thing my songbooks were recently updated.
If I get this fixed the way you are telling me, next time you are in central WI, drinks on me all night.

For most operations, Hoster does not care what your kma header has in it. Hoster only uses the information contained in the database. When you go to rebuild the database the first thing that Hoster does is to make a backup copy of songs.mdb (it will give you a message telling you it did this), just so if there is a problem with the new one you can revert to the old.

As dale suggested you should save a copy of song_backup to "My Documents" or a memory stick or just anywhere else.

This isn't a "fix". It's more of a bandaid until a fix is figured out or in the end it might be better just to let someone with Access
make you a list of your "Hide in songbook" book ids so they can be re-entered.
