Leonard As far as I can see the easiest, acceptable solution, is to change the Options - Do Not Validate _Page Numbers - when you TWYS on this one district. Cancel the Option after typing this one district and remember to select the Option Do Not Validate _Page Numbers when uploading the file.

For this particular problem I think it should actually read Options Do Not Validate Districts rather than Do Not Validate _Page Numbers. The Option description changes from Do Not Validate Districts to Do Not Validate _Page Numbers or vice versa depending on whether you have the curser in the District or Page filed when selection Option. Or at least the above occurs in my version of WinBMD (6.8) which is still undergoing testing.
