Charles,
I've been entering more data into #award and find the duplicate awards problem more and more annoying. I hate to ask, but since you have indicated a willingness, I would find this feature to be very valuable.

I hesitate to ask, as I'm not sure if others would find it to be useful, and I do have some workarounds. Still, I would like it.

For the record, the best workaround for books that had multiple awards was to copy the entire book record - Add a blank book, then Merge-keep others to get a duplicate record, then change the #award column to the second award. It was less than perfect, however.

If you get the time ....
In advance - Thanks.
