Re: [Koha] Advice on barcode replacement/central catalog
While I agree that it is easier to update barcodes before hand, we had some libraries do this after the fact so I put together a very simple Koha plugin to allow you to scan an item's barcode, then scan a new barcode and have it changed in the system.

Re: [Koha] Problem uploading patrons
Interesting question, but I don't think it's the problem She's running a fairly recent version of Windows. Probably the same version of Windows that her colleague is using who successfully uploaded the file. Still, I'll ask. I tested it via a windows emulator running XP (I know, but I only use Windows for legacy database software) and had no problem with it. We've never had trouble with other CSV files. I suspect operator error somewhere, but because we're not in the same room (or country for that matter) it's hard for me to see where she's going wrong. The complicated step is converting the file from the membership database to the correct format for Koha. She did that perfectly. It's odd that she stumbled at the final hurdle.

Re: [Koha] Problem uploading patrons
Hi, Elaine-- Could she make a video of what she's doing using some tool like Jing, that records what she's doing on her computer, to send to you? That way she could record exactly what she's doing and then send the video to you, which might help you figure out if it's operator error or not.
