That would eltimately lead to us *telling* transcribers that they were to correct an entry, whilst the ethos of FreeBMD is that transcribers transcribe what they see. Where the later stages of the process decide that a transcriber has made an error, it is intended that the co-ordinator of the later stage will upload an amendment file in his own name which will take precedence over the original transcription. -- Dave Mayall ---------------------------------------------- This mail sent through http://www.ukonline.net
