Hi Ruth and Listers

The problem with importing 100 records at a time is a fault of the BVRI NOT
LDS Companion, but don't worry in LDS Companion you get the choice to delete
duplicate entries so even if you block and save the same one more than once
it will sort it out for you.

With regard to saving in Custodian - you need to go to the configure tab in
LDS Companion and choose the Parish Register output styles (IGI and VRI)
under BOTH column 1 and 2 tabs you need then to click on the Custodian tabs
this will name the fields in accordance with Custodian also sets the right
field lengths. Save the LDS file and importing is then a matter of matching
up the fields when you import into Custodian

By the way Custodian v2.5.1 is now available for download.

regards

Bill
