I just bought Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Academy Awards Animation Collection 15 Winners -26 Nominees UPC: 085391167846.

When I downloaded this, no child profiles came with and when I specifically looked for child profiles (both automatically through the program and manually through the add DVD button by title and by inserting the disc), I did not find any in the database. Yet, when I went to update a mistake in the overview, it shows that I'm trying to change box sets (because I don't have any attached) and shows the disc ids for the child profiles.

When I manually add the child profiles for the 3 DVDs to the parent profile in the box set area, the disc ids match the box set ones that are being shown. Also, when I try to contribute the individual child profiles, it comes up as a new contribution.

My question is: Are these child profiles in the database and I'm just missing them for some reason? It's not a big deal, but I'm planning on profiling these and don't want to duplicate someone else's work.

Thanks!
Lori

Someone probably contributed the box set profile while having the children attached but never actually contributed the child profiles.

DJ is probably correct.  this happened to me once.

When it did I checked the contribution notes for the person who added the box set contents in the parernt profile.  I PM'd that person and in fact they forgot to contribute them.  So they did and the next day I updated and the child profiles came down.

Thanks! I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something or doing something wrong...I have that kind of luck.
