thanks betterred and theducks. at least i know how the database got so messed up -- i did every single thing you listed in your don't do lists. sigh. decided the cleanest fix was to create a current master list of ebooks outside calibre, wipe out the contents of the calibre library folder, and add all the books back again. took a few days, and i lost my true acquisition dates, but i'm back in business. i still browse the calibre folder for quick looks at what i've collected for various authors, but otherwise keep my mitts off. guess it's time to pick up where i left off reading the user's manual. thanks again for all the help and tips. my new library sure is pretty.
