Hi Bob Thanks for the reply. I do wait to the next day, yes, and in fact I've tried all sorts of permutations like overlaying one day, suppressing the next, unsuppressing the next, then looking at the bibs that day after that, but there's never a change. What I generally do in fact is to overlay a batch, then eyeball the HTML reports sent by Backstage at the same time as the files. Most of the changes don't affect the 1XX -- 95 percent of them are changes like adding new 4XX or 670, quite a lot in fact are just cases where the authorized heading used to end with a full stop (sorry, period) and now DLC have revised it by taking out the full stop. So most of those things are not going to impinge on bib headings at all. But if the 1XX itself has been amended in a significant way, I do a manual global update (if you see what I mean) to the bib records because I know AACP is not going to do the change for me.

Did you wait until the following day to see if the bib heading changes were made (per the second note on manual page # 101467)?

I even suppress and unsuppress the authorities after overlaying to try to force a change in the bibliographic headings, but nothing happens. Can anyone tell me why this is? This holds true of our a, d, e, and j (MesH) indexes.
