Tom,
I also have alphanumeric book numbers. I let Grabit number the books then change them in Booktrakker. Works fine.

Subject: [grabit] Controlling Book ID when adding grabit records to BT
When entering ISBNs to add books to BT, the BookID field has a number in it, apparently one digit higher than the highest number in my database. I cannot figure oukt how to change it.
This is not good. My book ID numbers have some intelligence to them; there is a pattern and tell me, among other things, where the books are and other info.
I would like to have Grabit start numbering with a number which I provide. How do I do this?
Example: the provided ID is 913950. I want this series of books to be numbered starting with 0901001 (I use alphanumeric IDs because I have some that start with the number "0"
