Jennifer,

SRE is short for Serial Record Entry. If that message comes up consistently, you have something wrong. However, I don't know serials well enough to tell you what that something is.

MFHDs can be used, but SRE is part of serials proper, and I may be mistaken, but are meant to replace MFHDs.

I didn't answer before because I dont' serial that well to help you with your problem.
