Now we're on the subject of record numbers, can I again (I certainly can!)
bitch about them?  IMHO it is an absurd way of maintaining a database --
there really is no flexibility *at all*.  For instance, what I would like
to do is to share one big happy Endnote database between multiple users
such that everybody maintains their little portion of it but so that all
the items are available (and useable in formatting an MS) from one big
database.  There would be a flag associated with entries so you would
know that a particular entry came from a particular person - for instance
a data-enterer field - which would allow you to know where to go look for
the original article.  (Yes I know you could use the notes field for that -
but I still wouldn't have a multi-part, multi-user database.)
