    I downloaded v2,4 & installed with no problem. Thanks.

    On V2.3 & now 2.4 I've been trying to add British butterflies using the checklist downloaded from your website. I find that this works fine except where the butterfly has a three part scientific name in which case it cannot be selected when you try to make an entry. For instance, Brimstone cannot be entered unless the scientific name is shortened to Gonepteryx . Is this a problem with the checklist, a bug, or don't I understand something!

    Hello David,

    In order to add subspecies you will need to enable the species & subspecies in the search options menu. The species options menu is located next to the species search textbox in the new/edit entry page.

    The following thread contains more detail: www.bluebirdtechnology.com/.../viewtopic.php

    Best wishes,

    Christine
