For Ron. Have you any idea why this mail finished up in my inbox when all the other Legacy mails go to their own box ?
This does happen very occasionally and I can not work out why. Regards from Valerie in sunny Sydney.

There is an error in my last email in that I should have said "MDB" format and not "DOC". I know there is no problem in using OOo writer to amend a GEDCOM but I have yet to find a suitable way of using OOo Base to amend an OOo ODS file and then reformat as an MS MDB. Converting to a GEDCOM and changing that in OOo before re-importing may be a way of block changing many files.
