Bigger library than mine, good to know

Just did a spot check cursoring around and hitting F2 and entering a value - seems normal to me.

Do you have any custom columns based on a program mode templates ? I ran into a performance problem caused by one of those once, nothing to do with versions though.

Oh, I'm not a high speed touch typist, bit better than one finger hunt & peck, but only just, so my expectations may not be as high as yours.

The library to which I just add the 5 items is ~7500books and 604GB (lots of audio, video, and transcripts etc). The other one is ~35,000 books and 30GB

Thanks for the response. I don't have any custom columns except pages & words and those were built on an example in the help files, not sure if that counts as a program template?.

Also your library size relieves my one worry about when my library would crash and burn (and yes I do backup regularly) because I was trying to stuff too much into one library. Thanks again for the information.
