Hi Ruth,

This seems to indicate that you do not have all of your sightings in one database. It sounds as if you entered some sightings in DB1, for example, then switched to DB2 and moved forward. Thereby missing the sightings that were entered into DB1.

You can use the Sightings TAB of the Import/Export window to export the missing sightings from DB1,  and import them into DB2.

Is the process of exporting/importing as described in the blue message above the correct way to transfer the sightings? or am I just transferring a report template?

If you use the Sightings TAB then you are exporting/importing sightings; if the Reports TAB, then you are only exporting/importing report template settings.

Does this make sense now? It seems that perhaps all of your sightings are not in the database you are using.

I am available at just about any time to get onto your system with about a 2 hours notice this week.

Let me know,

Jeff

Hi Ruth,

Now we are getting somewhere.

Ruth - can you see if you can do a test export of sightings data? Specify a date range outside of the one you are specifying that returns the RTE 94. I want to see if this issue is related to bad data in the date range or if there is some other problem.

Just see if you can export sightings, just one or two will do, outside the date range producing the RTE 94.

Let me know please,

Jeff

Yikes! Didn't notice that you were still running v3.5 Ruth. And I told you the upgrade was free. I assumed you were running some earlier version of 3.6.

So - free it is!   Your license ID is 937218. If you do not know your password, please email me off line (jeff@birdersdiary.com) and I will remind you.

Start BD, the license information window will appear (the one that says you are running in Demo mode). Click on Unlock Now and enter your License ID and your password.

Let me know,

Hello Ruth,

If your ABA counts are important to you, then you should upgrade to the latest ABA tax list.

Concerning the report formatting: You now have control over the GroupBy fields (e.g. Family Desc) in the report designer. So, just click on the Output Columns button on the report designer, then for the Family Desc field, click on the Font button and you can set the Font, Color, Bold, Size, etc.

NO - do not uninstall 3.5. You can remove the icon from the desktop however.
