Carol, I had the same problem. What my co-ordinator recommended was to enter the batch as (in this case) 1919M3S9191 then after the batch has been completed and sent up to FreeBMD land, go and edit the file header there. Worked for me anyway!! Hope that helps.

I have been allocated 1919M3S0191a. I've tried just entering 191a without the 0 but that doesn't work either. I've tried to find an answer in the TNB with no results but maybe I'm having another senior moment. > > Help please. > > Carol Haycock #609 > FreeBMD-Admins mailing list - archive http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/freebmd-admins > FreeBMD http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message _________________________________________________________________ Twice the fun—Share photos while you chat with Windows Live Messenger.

Thanks for the reply, Keith. I discovered that I was misreading my allocation and the "a" was an not part of the page number. However, I did not realize that, if I do get a page like that, that I should edit it the same way I do other transcriptions.
