Not in Notes  But in Location/ slot

I don't see location in the notes from Bulk edit:

- Discs (including Location and Slot)

I highlighted the interesting part for you 

Make a backup of your collection and install BulkEdit:

As you can't filter on location: right-click on the title-column in the collection-list, choose "view columns" and there "Disc Location". Now click on that column-header to sort by "Disc Location". Afterwards all your "Basements" should be one below the other. Now flag the first and the last profiler and go: Collection -> Flags - > Flag between (a new command brought to you by BulkEdit)
The whole thing of course only works if all "Basements" should be changed, otherwise you have to filter them somehow beforehand or do the flagging manually which might get a bit boring on 240 profiles.
If you did the latter it might be prudent to save the flag-set, Collection - > Flags -> Save set

Now open Bulkedit, Tools -> BulkEdit and choose "Disc Information", "Location" and "Title" and what else seem of value to see and Load -> Flagged Profiles. Click on the first Location field, click Multi-Copy and in "Tool 2" type "Basement" in the one field and "$whaterveryournewlocationisnamed" in the other, "find and replace all" and afterwards finished. Now just Files -> Save calidated changes and BE will really write the changes to your database.

Thanks Mithi

got bulk edit loaded and for two days now (experimenting) It won't change any location titles ..
I even decided after a few dozen attempts to just load one title only in..
I flag it.. then load(flagged entries)  it, then multicopy which takes me to the next page that has 4 areas of Tools :  Prepend to target /Append to target / Overwrite to target..

I've tried all three but I'd imagine that overwrite is the one I need.  then the drop down box start row /end row  for my selected flags is selected. From box is next-, it is empty unless I choose location to location.. (?).  Tool 2 - look for / replace with  is selected...  Tool 3  and Tool 4 both the same as Tool 1  in looks..  then there is first found in cell and all found in cell along with exact match .,,
and the  finally the master button FINISHED .. which when clicked instantly finishes ,(?) . then I go to validate saves ., and all looks /changes have not happened.  I've tried this tool on both windows XP  and Windows 7 both results  I  won't say disappointing.., I'll just say  It didn't work for me.. 

Odd . I followed Jim's instructions above and it worked flawlessly for me. First I "Personalized" 10 titles by adding "Basement" to the Location field. I flagged those 10 titles. I started BulkEdit. I checked off "Disc Information", "Location" and "Title". I "Load"ed Flagged Profiles. I selected "Basement" in the first Location field. I then Clicked on Multi-Copy and in Tool 2 I typed "Basement" in Look For and "Bedroom" in Replace With and clicked on Find and Replace All then clicked on Finish. After File>Save Validated Changes all 10 Profile's Location changed from "Basement" to "Bedroom".

BTW, I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit.

this stage right here FIND and replace ALL .. 'I m getting "Target Column is \read Only"  .....
so I'm using that button only the Finsished button,.. btw what about the other three buttons two radio buttons and one box button.. did you have the first selected or,,,?/

The first radio button "1st found in Cell" was selected.

If the target cell is "read only", sounds like you may have a "permissions" issue?

Here are the step-by-step procedures I took for Bulk changing the Location (with Pics):

FLAG YOUR PROFILES


RUN BULKEDIT


CHECK YOUR FIELDS TO DISPLAY


LOAD FLAGGED PROFILES


OVERWRITE SHEET DATA (I just choose YES)


FLAGGED PROFILES ARE NOW LOADED...Select the First Location Field (First occurrence of "Basement" is selected)


SELECT MULYI-COPY (USE TOOL 2)


IN Look For: TYPE Basement and IN Replace With: Type in your new Location. NEXT CLICK ON Find and Replace All. "Basement" is now changed to "Bedroom" in BulkEdit


CLICK ON Finish


NEXT FILE>Save Validated Changes


FLAGGED PROFILES IN DVDP NOW SHOW NEW LOCATION

Glad it worked out .
