Chris I run a good number of Upload Reports on a daily basis and have no problems. It is extremely rare for me to use "Show" as I prefer to use "Download" as it allows me to analyse the information in Excel. In fact I've just run a report for 1907 Dec Marriages (one of your Syndicate allocations) to see if there's any problems. I'm using Outlook Express 6 but it also worked on an earlier version.

Having it download as a .csv file as it used to is much more helpful.

Works just fine here using Firefox rather than IE. -- Philip Powell The Fellwanderers

Hello Allan, The problem is that when you use "download", the file is opened in Explorer and the format is incorrect. The file is not split into the correct fields. The file does not download. To force a download I use the Zip version. When unzipped, the file does not always have the CSV ending. This has to be added before the file will open correctly. I suspect the problem does relate to Windows XP SP2 although I don't have any proof. I can download the files OK using a Linux operating system and Konquerer web browser.

I have been trying for 2 days to get upload reports with no luck!!! I find this happens regularly. There was a brief period when the new server went on-line that it worked, but not much since then Pat Brian Smart <[email protected]> wrote: Hello Allan, The problem is that when you use "download", the file is opened in Explorer and the format is incorrect.
