Hi All This should not be ignored. 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.
