Jon, Gave you wrong information

Sorry, Jon , I gave you a wrong answer as it turns out. In conversation with the creator of Readerware, I mentioned your question and here is his response:
__________

Normally you select a format from the drop down list in the detail view.

But you can also just type in a format. When you click on the Update button to update the record, Readerware adds the new format to the list and sets it as the active selection for that book. Suppose you looking at a hardcover, Hardcover is displayed in the format field. You also have the eBook. So you could just add & eBook to the existing format displayed and click on Update. Now display the format drop down list, the new value is in there.

Now that it is in the list you can select it in other records.

You can use the replace wizard to make changes to multiple records. So if you had a lot of records that you want to set the new format on, select Edit->Replace. See http://www.readerware.com/help/rwGlo...ngeWizard.html

You can also maintain the list columns using the popup menu, see http://www.readerware.com/help/rwDBMaint.html
_______________

I would add that the creator of Readerware is very responsive to questions and to resolving problems.
I hope that helps you, Jon.
