Hi Bill Upload it without the ? then open the file in Notepad edit it, then resend.

Character I have a page no. of 331?a on one of my pages but I cant upload it with the ? character included. I have tried enclosing the page no. string in quotes so that the entire line reads Fisk,Walter,Henstead,4b,331?a but FreeBMD still rejects it. Is there any way it can be upload it or do I use an underscore and a #COMMENT line?

Thanks, That appeared to have worked, in that I didn't get any error message when I uploaded from WinBMD, but, when I checked the uploaded file in FreeBMD, it hadn't been replaced. I assume it was rejected for the same reason.
