If you send me a copy of your data, I will investigate the problem.

Simplest thing is probably to put the whole of the AditSite folder
(usually c:\aditsite) onto a CD and
post to Adit Limited, Tyn Rardd, Dwyran, Anglesey, LL61 6AJ.

Alternatively, you could try zipping just aditsite.mdb and emailing it

Sounds like something strange about the content of the user defined
fields for that species list.
Are you using the latest version of the program (if so, I can add a
diagnostic to the code to find out what is happening)?
Or at least trap the errors so that they do not bother you.

Re: Change of species name

From time to time you may want to update species names.
This typically occurs when there is a general acceptance of a new
name, discovery of a spelling mistake, or just because you do
not like the naming convention in a particular list (eg the standard
bird list).

After editing the names in a list (Item Lists from the Main screen,

Change of species name

(Originally from Toby Woodhams)

What procedure can we adopt to ensure a change affects all existing
records ?

Does the method apply to changes to the Scientific Name ?

Not quite sure why, but this list has a default setting of 'hidden'

In 'Item Lists' click [Modify] and answer Yes to the warning.
Change 'Show' from No to Yes, and then click [Save]

(You may have to exit and restart the program to see the list if you
have already been into the recording screen)

I have just downloaded Oceania Birds Species List, unzipped the file
(ADITS808.MDB) and copied it into the main Aditsite folder in the
Programs folder on the hard drive. The list shows up in 'Item Lists'
but does not appear in Item Groups when entering sightings details.
Just wondering what I have done here ? need to formally import the

New facility in site maintenance screen for you to test (backup your
data first) - look in the downloads for SDAditsite.zip

(Existing menu option for updating blank grid references now allows a
general update)

Let me know how you get on

Re: Sorting problem

I do understand. By default computers sort in strict ascii order,
which does not work well for numbers.

The sort option has the 'By Value' option to solve this for numbers,
but this will not work for your composite references.

I have added a 'Special Sort' option for you to test - look in the

(Message originally from Sergio)

In “Sites”, if I change the “Default Grid Reference”, it doesn’t
change automatically to all my specimens already in the database. It
means, I go to the “Reporting” -> “Report” and still remains the “old”

At starting the program, I receive next message: “Couldn’t find
