Jeff,

I have just upgraded(?) to ver 3.6.49 and now get the dreaded Run-time error '13'  Type mismatch error screen.  When I try to use the add function to enter new sighting Birder's Diary completely shuts down.  I origionally used the single file upgrade and got the error message.  I then used the network upgrade and still have the same problem.  I have rebooted the computer and still get the error screen and then a shut down of the program.

In searching the archives about his problem, it seems that it somehow involves changing some lines in the registry.  Please tell me that I don't have to mess with the registry, as I don't feel comfortable doing that.

Other than tis new problem, I have been pleased with and get good service from Birder's Diary.

Any help that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

JEFF,

Thanks for your reply to my plea for help. I guess that I should have read all the info about the Run Time '13". If I had, I would have noticed you answer to the problem. Anyway, I got past my fear of the registry editing and followed your advice. I did the edit as you indicated and now everyting is fine and the program now works and I am able to enter sightings. Now all I need is for Spring to come to Watertown, NY so that I can start seeing some more good birds.
Thanks for your help
