    I have changed the name on this record for you. In the future you can select edit in the name field make changes as appropriate. Hope this helps you,

    Yes you can change a misspelled name in a record. Go to the name and select edit. You can then make the appropriate changes.

    Thanks, Carol Ann1! Interestingly, it would not allow me to edit the name. Perhaps because I didn't create the record? I've been able to edit other records successfully many times, but this was the first time I've run into any difficulty. Much appreciated.

    Sometimes the system just wants to act up! I didn't create the record, but sometimes things just don't seem to always work. Glad I could be of help.

    Good to know. Next time, I'll try a different browser or close it and return later. Thanks again! :-) Cheers, Liz
