Greg I just noticed that in Prefix Databases-primary tab:that you need to check Deleted and un-check Field Check for the Old Prefixes PJ2 and PJ7. Not sure about Bureau? Earl N5ZM.. ---------------------------------- Greg, thanks for the step by step it looks like it will work. I guess I will have to be extra watchful in steps 10 and 11 not to get crossed up. BTW in step 10 in might be useful to some (like myself) that have their date set as DD-MM-YYYY to mention this so the date will not be confusing. Also in the last paragraph did you mean to say "any PJ station that you worked (before) 0400z on 10-10-2010..." would need to be changed. Thanks again for your efforts. 73, Earl N5ZM..
