Topic: How do I import records for the Channel Isles?

Many years ago we had an addin developed for us that enabled us to import records with WA/WV grid references correctly but it won't install to recent versions of R6. Is there now a standard addin we can use, or has anyone else developed one?
We have a 14 year backlog of records to import!

Hi Janet,

I'm able to install that WA/WV AddIn on the latest version of R6. In fact, I've just uninstalled and reinstalled it successfully. I'd be lost without it too!

Best wishes

I must be doing something wrong then, or perhaps you have a later version of the addin. Ours was developed in 2010 and the installation instructions are rather different to the way we install addins now. Could you send me the version you have?

The files I have are:

XMLSystems.dll 11/05/2010 10:27 604Kb
WaWv.xml 12/05/2010 14:37 3Kb
geobin32.bin 17/03/2006 15:00 180kb
geodll32.dll 17/03/2006 15:01 629Kb

I have all 4 in the Addins folder, plus copies of the 2 geo*.* files in the 'Recorder 6 Server' folder. The original instructions I have on my server desktop and still hold good, or so I thought.

Email me at levans-hill@butterfly-conservation.org and I'll send them to you by return.
