A transcriber reports the following: I keep getting an error message while trying to enter the christian name Zebedee. As soon as I enter the Z the error message says 'Run-Time error 9: Subscript out of range' and the program closes. Any suggestions what to do? I seem to recall this being mentioned but can't find the solution. -- Philip Powell Looking north across the Derwent Valley and Northumberland to The Cheviot

This was a bug in version 4 WinBMD. It happens when the number of entries in the name file exactly divide into the internal space that the program reserves for them and then a new name is added. To get over it open the name file (which can be found in the FILES folder below WinBMD - the file is called WinBMD_Name2.txt) using Notepad, scrolldown to the end of the file and insert a new entry (for example "Zzzzzzzz"), Save the file and restart WinBMD.

I came across the same problem recently. I would enter it as _ebedee, upload the file then go to file management and edit it. Anne
