Hi Bud,

I think in the past when the system has returned an error saying the title has 0 length it has turned out that it can't find the file. I believe that most have gotten around this by renaming the file to the old standard DOS format, no spaces, no punctuation, and the 8-3 name limitation. While the file name you are entering may be a correct one, I imagine when the system is parsing the name it comes across a character it feels indicates a terminating one so that it truncates the actual name. The Bookshare server I believe is running under Linux, which doesn't appreciate spaces or many punctuation characters.

Hi again gang,

I sent a message earlier today saying that I couldn't get a book uploaded to bookshare. As I said I have submitted several hundred during the past couple years but this one baffles me. I get it all filled out and it comes back saying there is an error. I check it all and everything is filled out correctly except that the book title is missing. A message says
"error, title has zero length. Any thoughts?
I've retried at least six times and am about to just junk it and start another book.
Thanks for any help
