Hello Colin and others,

Last week worked MM/DH5JBR/P
In the remarks field I enter for Scotisch Island
"Arran Isl.IOTA EU-123 IOSA CL-01"

I have checked the Edit-function in Database-Island-IOSA but update is only in the IOTA database and not in IOSA database.

I cannot find any info in het help-file.
Is there a way to update the ISLANDS database?

For IIA and others there is no Edit-check flag.

Update Islands database (not iota)

Hi Jack.

Regarding the IOSA not being recognised, this will because you need to enter the IOSA as CL01 e.g. without the hyphen, although IOTA is recogised in various ways e.g. EU005, EU05,EU-05, EU-005, the IOSA and other Islands databases have a more stricter format. N.B. Some of the Island databases do not have any auto-checking routines, I will add these if and when interest is shown.

Hope this helps.
