I am transcribing 1932-B-3 K-Z 0356-0360 I find that I cannot enter 'Liverpool' alone, the pick-list will only accept 'Liverpool South'. I have used that and gone to my records to delete 'South' (10 times) so far. Can you suggest an easier way for the pick-list to accept 'Liverpool'. ? Jean Davies

Afternoon Jean, If you type in "Liverpool,10d" and then tab, you should get the option to either add, cancel or ignore the new district type. Once yes is selected it will automatically come up at the top of the list for Liverpool variants the next time you need it, having added it to the list of possibilities. Obviously both would come up, so if you need Liverpool South in the future, it's a simple matter of selecting the appropriate value.

Thank you Carrie, I tried that and it wouldn't accept it. I usually get the response, "do you wish to add etc." but not with Liverpool.

You're more than welcome Jean, It is strange that it hasn't added itself, but there is another way to do it. If you go into the programme files for WinBMD and open the file named WinBMD_Supp_Districts.txt in notepad you can manually add it there. I wouldn't recommend this as a frequent action, as you must ensure you place the entry in the correct spot alphabetically, and check, double check, and check again thay you've used the exact same syntax as the rest of the entries listed. However, if you add it correctly and then save the file it should appear in the picklist after you close and reopen WinBMD again. It is an emergency solution Jean, and I'm not wholly comfortable with suggesting it, but I'm sure it'll become plain to you what you must do once the file is open. Good luck with it. Carrie :) ________________________________ From: Jean Davies <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, 14 April, 2009 15:35:20 Subject: Re: Liverpool Thank you Carrie, I tried that and it wouldn't accept it.
