go to Menu->Options-> Media Overdide tab. Click on None under media override
protection. Below "none" there is a check mark. You have to uncheck that
checkmark.

Thank you kindly... that check mark is already unchecked tho.

Change the retention period of the Media set you are using so that when they
are re-used, tapes have expired.

Or, when you loada the tapes, inventory them, then drag to the scratch media
set

restart services and got back into BE. Maybe that will help things...

Set the Overwrite Protection and Append Period to 1 hour. Then set the Overwrite
protection to partial. This gets rid of these annoying messages.
