I should have made my response more specific. The point I was making related to your Dear All .... please "Send to Derek (i.e. Hopkins)". Sending files to Derek only applies to Scan2 volunteers and not to other Syndicates (with the possible exception of those Syndicate who also have a Co-ordinator named Derek). The suggestion about checking header details is quite valid.

It is a heads up to ALL transcribers check a page when you have finished it including the header to see you have not done something stupid. WinBMD and VerifyBMD do a good job of the data being accurate but in filling in the header has bad results for anything up to 720 odd entries in the FreeBMD database just for a slip of one character in the year or quarter. So "Heads Up" Take a few seconds to make sure the header is correct before you send a page in . While this case may be Scan2 specific, I am sure this problem is not exclusive to Scan2. Double check your filename with your assignement.
