    3. Hullo Barrie, I only have 1 file for my syndicate in the SuspectFiles list and this falls into your category of having nothing wrong and can be removed from the list. mitch180/1880B3M0354 In line 314 the entry is as follows :- MILES,Bend Or J,Camberwell,1 d,803 #THEORY Forename Or is assumed to be correct and not alternate to J. I'm sure the forename ' Or ' is a name (presumeably of scandanavian origin) but of course FreeBMD is picking it up as meaning an alternate name.
