Re: Pisces in new Dictionary
I've just installed the Recorder 6 dictionary from the Upgrades web page (although I have to admit I was a bit confused by the heading 'Upgrades since V6.9.3', as I have 6.10.4, and didn't know if some of these updates would have been included in the update from 6.9.3 to 6.10.4 - I selected all these options anyway, and now have an updated version of the dictionary that seems ok, except for one point.
I export the dictionary into a flat file to use with our own systems, and use two joins on the Recommended Key and the Taxon Key in the flat file to ensure that the name that is returned is always the most up-to-date name. I check with each update that the dictionary still tallies with the records we have stored. One of our records was entered as Pisces, which has a Version Key of NHMSYS0000841378, and a Recommended Key of NBNSYS0000151610 (in the old dictionary). This corresponds correctly with the preferred entry on the MCNR list. In the updated version of the dictionary this Recommended Key has been changed to NBNSYS0000154965, which doesn't exists as a Taxon Key, even though the record with the previous recommended name still exists.
Although a 'Pisces' record isn't really of that much value(!), I am slightly concerned that this might not be the only item pointing to the wrong place.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim
