Winnebago inventory problem

[Cheryl Sturgeon <csturgeo@OHIO.NET>]

After several years of doing the inventory I still have questions!
I am using a portable bar wand scanner.  We have completed the paperback
books. A student has come in and complained that the overdue book on his
name HAS been returned.  I sometimes find this to be the case since
occasionally a volunteer at the desk did not scan it in properly.  The
paperbacks are in boxes now for the summer and hard to re-check.  WHY
dosen't the program check in a book and remove it from the patrons name
when it is scanned at inventory?  Am I doing something wrong.  In a
previous life I used a Follett program that DID this so that after
inventory we could be confident in telling a student they did NOT return
the book.  Sorry this is so long winded.
