Hi again,

On second thoughts, here are the remaining two attachments.  The final one is particularly entertaining:  how is it possible that a subspecies has been seen when the species itself has not been?

Time for me to take some pills.

Best wishes,

Hi Jeff,

An interesting thought - I'd never have come up with it.  Unfortunately, though, it didn't solve my problem - the reports look identical.

There may be something wrong with my locations table (under WORLD there is now a heading $Orphaned Locations$ that features RYUKYU ISLANDS and SOUTH GEORGIA ISLAND) but the location where my lazy test observer saw his Ostrich (SOUTH AFRICA, Augrabies Falls) upposts to SOUTH AFRICA which in tern upposts to WORLD.

Any other ideas?  If the locations trick cured Nick's problem it sounds as though my database has somehow become corrupted, if not the locations table then something else.

Best wishes,

Graham
