Barrie Just one minor query. My first column is labelled "Synd Memb?" rather than "In Synd?" Am I looking at the same report as you?

Alternatively we can force a file to be allocated to a specific syndicate if you let us know. I am always reluctant to amend the download format because coordinators may have macros that depend on the format. I hope that this change will not cause anyone any problems.

Yes, sorry, memory failure - I should have checked.

Barrie, When I view an upload report I don't get anything like you describe. What is the address to use to get the upload report you refer to?

Brian The address is: http://www2.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/upload-report.pl In the absolute vast number of Upload Reports I regularly run I only see Synd Memb? column showing as 0 or 1, I'm guessing this is what you are seeing in your Upload Report? Seeing either 0 or 1 should be considered entirely normal. I have only encountered one Upload Report to date (which was run for a Syndicate under my control) in which a 2 is showing in the Synd Memb? column. Unless Barrie advises to the contrary this problem has occurred because a particular volunteer belongs to my syndicate plus one other syndicate and both syndicates were involved in double keying the same event/quarter. There is no indication in the files uploaded by this volunteer as to which Syndicate the volunteer belongs. However having just checked the files more closely the volunteer only ever transcribed for the Syndicate under my control so me asking the Coordinator of the other Syndicate to remove the volunteer from his Syndicate should (fingers crossed) show 1 against the volunteer next time I run Upload Report.

Brian you get none of this if you click on Show. It's only if you download the report that you get the Syndicate Member column.
