Re: [IUG] Stop confirmation message box

["Kinney,Diane" <dk44 at drexel dot edu>]

Just FTR, I find that box incredibly annoying.  I have never, in 8 years, had an export problem, and the bib number isn't something I need to know.  Furthermore, if I DID need to be alerted of a problem, or want to see the bib record numbers, I don't see why it couldn't just give me a summary, as it does with other batch processes.  It's irritating to have to babysit the export, particularly when it's a large batch--it'd be nice to be able to turn off this "feature."

I'm not sure why your tech serv staff find clicking OK on the 
export message box a problem-- that box is there for a reason: 
to let you know that a bib has been successfully exported into 
Millennium (and it also lets you know if an overlay has 
occurred on an existing record in your opac).  And it provides 
the bib record number that has been assigned to the exported 
record.  I realize, of course, that sometimes message or dialog 
boxes can be annoying but, personally, I find that particular 
box to be very useful and informational.

Please forgive the cross posting.
 
Our Technical Services staff would like to disable the 
confirmation message box appears after exporting records 
directly from OCLC to Millennium server. That message box 
appears after every record and user has to click OK. III Help 
Desk suggested it is coming from OCLC software. I have changed 
the Preferences in both Online Connexion and its windows client 
with no success. The work around is to download to local file 
and then upload to Millennium, losing the good use of direct export.
 
Any help is appreciated.
