Go to:

Start> My Computer

then go to the folder on your external where you keep you KMA files and look in the bottom left corner. It should tell you how many KMA files are in the folder.

also i have removed unwanted songs from the songbook only to find they are there when i check again,so i am afraid to print my new books with things in it i don't want in it. all advise is way koool thanx

To prevent a song from showing up in your songbook, you have to remove the KMA file from your Songs Database using the Edit Songs feature in the Tools drop down menu.

We will have the ability to keep a KMA (or video file) in the database and not have it show up in the songbook in 4.0.

I Hope This helps.

Jim

thanx madjim for the help.i also tried to use the video feature of hoster, to no avail. i guess i need to use the proper video files for it to work and where might i get some kool ones. will they work on screen with the lyrics in karaoke shows? karafun does it but i am not a pro on the computer and it takes alot of finagaggling to fool with the dual display.anyway hoster rocks and all you people involved in it. no other program even gets close. and that's comming from a newbie

Are you checking the "Print" file for the songbook or looking using the search or looking at the Songs database file?
When you "Hide" songs they should not show in the print version, but will still be listed in the Songs database and will show in the search and the dropdown list of bookids.

Hey Dale,
How is this done? I don't see a way to do it through Hoster.

Thanks

How are you removing them and what are you doing that you find they are still there?
