Sorry for the run-around.

Hey,that WORKS!Thanks!

it's the small case name of secondary station and then the "British Columbia Current" that's needed,right?Makes a sort-of computerese sense...

There are several more secondary current stations I recognize very well with the same problem and I am doing them too. I'll post the idx when I THINK I have it right .

As in:
"SEYMOUR NARROWS"
changed to:
"Seymour Narrows, British Columbia Current"

EDIT: actually,they ALL work if I just add
",<space>British Columbia Current" no quotes

seems to work.However there is a SEECHELT Rapids that is a duplicate somewhere in the idx....and I'm going to fool around and get the ARROWS going in the right direction too,but that's just me...

[HappySeagull]

Found it.(""Seechelt"-there's supposed to be two)
I recognize these databases alright...same mistakes!Surge Narrows the secondary based on Seymour Narrows-I guess its an old American DB..has the directions flood/ebb backwards.Gee this is fun!Keep an eye out for the guy stuck in the whirlpool!

[HappySeagull]

"Please do not modify this file unless you know EXACTLY what you're doing!....# Basic...etc"
..ok.Everything fine.Thanks, Dave, for the flamethrower!...moved and steered some arrows but still haven't managed to steer the Primary Stations(Canadian)- those "North/South only" arrows are darned ugly ...

see? a Primary Current Arrow steered-did Surge,Seymour,Active etc(ongoing in spare time)..took me a LONG time to figure out that I needed to # out the CNAP line to get rid of "northalways" arrows....
I screwed around a tiny bit in Juan de Fuca too...so I can see the diff at the Juan de Fuca/Race Rocks bit...

(PS...Wow,you've done a lot of work on these db's...!)
