Thanks in advance for any help! Do you have all 18 N_xxxx.dat files in the oclcapps\illmewin directory? If not you can copy the ones which do not exist from the data disk provided with the original Clio installation disk set. Do you know if you had *all* of the output file names checked before you upgraded to the new version? You can send me a note directly in reponse.

I don't see your post answered so I'll try to explain what the Microenhancer does for us. The Microenhancer does batch processing as you indicated. This batch processing does not have to be scheduled for overnight processing --- we update records several times a day. The benefit of the MicroEnhancer is it permits the user to enter IL numbers in a batch mode to change record status. With CLIO in the picture the IL numbers and record changes are entered in CLIO then uploaded to the MicroEnhancer. The MicroEnhancer then is set to communicate with the OCLC ILL system. This is an interactive session that happens much faster than a regular (or manual) session. We typically have a download session set to "grab" and print our message file (usually the pendings and conditional pendings on one machine and the shipped file on the other)around 6 am. When we arrive for work the requests are printed. There are only a few types of messages that we view while connected to OCLC. Most of our updating is done through the MicroEnhancer (and CLIO). Using the MicroEnhancer will not slow your processes, the only drawback that I know of when using the MicroEnhancer is that since you're not "touching" each record there isn't an opportunity to produce a copy of the updated worksheet to include with whatever you ship. (Y'all (as they say here) feel free to contradict me if you know this isn't so!)
