to lambert282,
Thank for your interest. I defined a custom library field and label it as "Peak Chart Position". For all my music files which represent charted "hits" this field holds, as you can tell from it's displayed label, the peak chart position attained. I have a library or two which have many of the charted hit songs. I have other libraries where this is not the case and even in those libraries that contain the hits, many of the library's tunes did not chart at all. For those songs that did not chart I wanted a simple way to indicate so. My first attempt was to enter a zero (0) for these songs in that library field. When the field was defined as an integer field (makes sense for chart position, no?), a zero entry was never recorded. And that, my friend, in more words than you probably cared to receive, is what I am attempting to do. Do you have some other ideas? I'm always glad to hear from others. Thanks again.
