Over the past couple of weeks I have had enquires from people who appear to be using their work place computers. As nearly all companies do not allow their employees access to download programs or upload files to the internet. Would it be possible to place a note on the home page stating that volunteers must have the ability to download/upload files to the internet. The only place I can find any reference to this is on the http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/7steps.shtml half way down the page, or have I missed it on the home page. thanks Keith Gandalf(uk)

I have taken on a few transcribers working on Excel who are not able to download WinBMD. I am willing to take a few more. Various circumstances, including using work computers in lunch hour. I have an Excel file I send them which helps them to get the header details right, and also has a lookup for volume numbers from districts. Harder to get started than on WinBMD, but can produce good results. In some cases the upload has been a problem - for example one working in a public library - but by sending me the file I have been able to upload - though the transcriber doesn't get the credit due.
