None of the entries in my literature citation database have attachments so I did not try out that feature. One of my primary uses of the DR1000S is to store PDFs of articles from scientific journals. I name them by the authors and date and keep them in folders named after the journal that published the article. I locate the files using a desktop program similar to EndNote. The ability to look up an article in a searchable database on the DR would help immensely when I am away from my office desktop computer. That is why I am interested in the utility you wrote. Just adding an additional column in the title - creator listing would greatly aid in locating an article since everything is stored according to the publication title. Being able to query the database based on any combination of creator, title, and keyword would be an added benefit.

I installed zbi2 and it runs fine. It still has trouble with the full 11,000 record database. One thing I found out is if a journal file exists in the same directory as the sqlite file, zbi will abort and return to the directory listing.

Thanks for you work on this program.
