Uploading my day's work yesterday, I noticed I also downloaded, without so much as a by your leave, a new District Pick List. Transcribing today I find a significant number of changes in the "speed dial" numbers, e.g. W.Derby gone from 5 to 2 and much worse W.Ham from 7 to 10 (2 key-strokes). There are many others. Without starting a debate on the advisability of making these changes, is it not possible to make a new list an optional download? My work will be slower now and I bet I'm not the only one. And PLEASE do not change the Forename List again!!! It took an age to get George right after the last change!!! Chris Hughes

I'll second this. The download does, however, make a copy beforehand, so you can just delete the new one and rename the old one. But it is a tad annoying. I've customised my list to take out all the redundant district names that appear in "full" form, and which only appear in scans in the abbreviated form. I know this isn't approved, but it keeps the list manageable in its length and reduces key-strokes.

Yes, I customise my list too which adds to the annoyance potential. I don't know how to delete the new list though or to find the copy of the old one. Please can you enlighten me? I'm running WinBMD version 6.1 on Windows 7.
