No problem. Don't know if you can see my notes but there were two DOR's nearby each other. I wasn't sure how to enter, but now I understand that they would be two seperate entries. Thanks.

Hi Shane cool that you entered a dor, but can you change the Qty field to 1? As that should be the number of vouchered animals in the entry.
