Hi Eddie, Many thanks for your comments. To reply to your items:- 1. This looks like an error and I will look at it. Originally WinBMD only accepted a Film Year in that box (to be honest I hadn't come across Film References at that time!) but was later changed - it looks as though the change wasn't quite right. However - I may be wrong but it looks like the value you are inputting is a Page Number - if that is the case then you should really put this in the "Batch Number" field as it will then be promulgated to the +PAGE line. That is, if you enter 0401 in the Batch field then your first line will read +PAGE,0401 which I think is what you want. 2. Surnames etc will ONLY be capitalised if they are entered in the same case (ie all lower case or all upper case) if you type any capital letters then WinBMD will think you are entering a name in the correct case and will not change it. Please let me know if this isn't happening for you. Districts are a funny thing and WinBMD is trying not to impose a particular case on you (ie it is trying to let you "Type what you see") - this may not be the best option though. I do have a Wish List going for the next version which I shall publish on this list and allow people to add to it and finally vote on what's wanted. If you or anyone wants a change in the way districts are handled then please send a suggestion and I will add it to the list. 3. Sorry about the Cancel error - I will fix it and publish an upgrade shortly.
