Thanks for all the help/suggestions from all. Got it working now, but also decided this is not the process I want to use to add ebooks. Am now going to look into using the commandline interface where, in combination with a macro, I think I can then can add the parameters instead of having to rename the ebooks themselves.

Don't laugh, but from the beginning I got it right. I didn't realise though, because the series index was in square brackets behind the series name itself in the same column. Thanks kacir. I didn't notice this, because the series name was larger then the columns width, and my mindset was when having 2 parameters series and series_index, that you also use/have 2 columns. At least that's what I always use when setting up databases using SQL/mySQL.

Also the suggestions from theducks makes sense now, because it did not at all when I 1st read it.
