Uncheck everything except for the other languages listed. That should give you a different total. If you select everything, then you are excluding to much and with all those restriction you will get 0 listed.

If you exlclude "genre" and/or "type" as a group you will effectively exclude everything.

I unchecked everything from GENRE down. I then checked all languages except ENGLISH.... I got 25481. I actually have just under 18000 english. I then checked english and unchecked SPANISH. It came up with 2. I have over 5000 Spanish. I then checked Spanish and unchecked UNKNOWN. My songs with vocals have been listed as unknown.... anyway, it came up with 2, and I know I have about 2000.............. I'm lost!! Any other Ideas???

Thanks,

I just found out something!!!!!!! I opened Songs mdb and ALL of my songs in LANGUAGE are listed as ENGLISH. And in GENRE, they are all listed as WEDDING. How in the hell could that have happened????? And, how can I fix it???? If you have any ideas just yell them to me..... I'll be standing by the edge of the cliff!!

Thanks,

Ernie,
I know that with my system if I import new stuff, if I don't select a genre or language they will default as language = English and genre = Wedding.

So, if when you import your discs you didn't set these settings. However it doesn't sound like that is what happened to you. I get the feeling you had this all correct at one time and then all of a sudden it's gone. Could it be possible that you have a second songs.mdb file somewhere else that is still being seen by Hoster. When you do a build songs dB, do you have more than one path for Hoster to do a rebuild? If you do, maybe you selected the wrong one to rebuild. This could have happened some time back. It happened to me and I had to delete the old one to get it all correct.

I'm just saying.
Good luck!
Wally

I almost have this fixed. I went into edit then Select Multiple. I'm working in that. Actually, it's not as bad as I thought. You do have a good idea.... as soon as I'm done, which will be in about five minuetes, I'll check it out.

Thanks,
Ernie
