I appreciate the reply Chaley, however I must not have been clear. The month and date are fine for the published date, but that is all I want "get metadata" to retrieve. I dont want it to retrive titles and authors and such, just the pub date. I know it sounds strange, but all to often I have to go back in and change the title or Authors back to what I want after selecting "get metadata". For instance when I get the metadata for Tom Clancy's "Ballance of Power" it changes to Author from "Tom Clancy" to "created by Tom Clancy & Steve Pieczenik". I like the Pub date as an organizer, and I have put all the titles and authors in by hand, I just dont want to look up every book to find the pub date. I know it is strange....
