Most of us like the old, familiar way of doing things. It is good to be reminded that the new, unfamiliar has merit as well.

Well I can see that if the old system was giving you the batch numbers right away . . . . Most of the time I was using Hugh Wallace’s database to look up a place to see if there is extraction, and then taking the batch number from there and going back to IGI to do the search.

I think you and i have a different definition of easy/easier. In the old system you could enter a name and the batch number would come up, you then used the batch number and every one who was in that batch would come up. The new system is like taking the back roads (think of all the things that may distract you along the way???) instead of the highway. You may get the same out come, but boy, does it take waaaayyyy longer
