Topic: Matching names when importing a map boundary

I have just found a problem matching polygons within a map to sites within Recorder.

The example was importing a MIF file created by MapInfo, but I don't think that is actually relevant
Using match by a 'Boundary Attribute Field'

Recorder generates an error if you try to match an incoming polygon to a site name within Recorder which contains an apostrophe - in most cases Recorder crashed, but on selecting 'continue' the site had been successfully attached, however, in one case it just refused to attach the site name, no error, just returning a blank entry - this site name had two apostrophes in it!
