    3. Ian You have a valid point regarding Upload Report where I am assuming you are using the "Show" facility. Although I have just run the report using "Show" to reproduce your problem it is extremely rare for me to use this facility as I find "Download" facility far better as an analysis tool which enables sort by page number totally disregarding leading zeroes. "Download" can readily pick up same pages transcribed by different volunteers, pages 124,125 and 126 for example, this you can't readily do if using the "Show" facility. "Download" can also pick up missing pages quite easily. As an aside, for those volunteers using WinBMD I wonder why the +PAGE in some of the files are missing the leading zeroes even though the header and file name are showing them? For example 1910M2B0013 (User Woodchurch +INFO,,xxxxxxxx,SEQUENCED,MARRIAGES #,9z,Sandra,Ian Brooke,1910M2B0013.BMD,10-Apr-2004,Y,N,N,B,0 #, +S,1910,Jun,ACDB-01,12-Apr-2004 +PAGE,13 PTS task seems the route to go.

The current upload report doesn't seem to properly order by page number, instead it seems dependent upon the format that the page number was entered by the transcriber. For example, a recent report I ran (1910 M Q2) first shows all the page numbers that are 4-chars with leading zeroes, then it starts doing odd things (too odd to describe!) with those with 2 or 3 etc chars without leading zeroes, etc. I would like it to be changed so that it intelligently handles page number formats and produces as close as possible to a correctly ordered list. If I hear nothing to the contrary then I shall raise a change to that effect in a couple of days. Regards Ian --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
