Thanks Evert, I hadn't tried that approach.
However this is a slightly dodgy work-around for something that ought to be
included in the normal search procedures. I wonder why that field is in the
"Find where" drop down box in "Search > Search and Replace" and not in the
straight "Search > Find

When saving files,
Try Search and Replace in the Search menu, look for Notes-Location
Notes or Lists-Location Notes, but be carefull not to delete any text
in those Notes fields. If you just want to search and not to replace

This should work - BUT only if you actually INSTALL the program on the
new machine. You could then simply copy the files and replace the
ones put there by the INSTALL. You must install on the new machine to

not consistent in sources, the conversion tools would misinterpret

It is common practice to record the location of an event as it was "at the

this location with any changes in name, boundary amendments, the current
