For years I have been using !Password by J Peachey v 1.54i (26 October

JP is still around isn't he? I'm sure I've seen stuff he's written, eg in
Archive.
What did he say when you reported the problem?I have just picked up, on this thread, and have asked Barry for some
details. It's always difficult to sort out a bug if you don't know
about ! :0)
Yes, sorry. I didn't want to report what was happening because I knew you
had written this many, many years ago and I didn't think it fair to expect
any kind of continuing support.
What is happening exactly?
I wrote to you a few years back to say that I had more than 100 entries in
the database and in response you supplied me with a revised version
capable of holding more which you called v 1.54i (26 October 2006).
However, I found that if I modified an entry, I found that following
entries could/would have their fields shifted. For example, an entry
following the amendment could contain fields 1,2 and 4 of its original,
but field 3 would have got inserted into the following entry. And the 3rd
entry of that shifted forward into the next and so on.
I didn't notice this for a while, by which time many entries had got
jumbled. I could painstakingly edit them back to how they should be, but I
could then damage other entries. So I just reverted to a previous backed
up version and avoided doing any editing or entry deletion from that time
on.
Are you using the version with 'sort' greyed out? If not this can
result in problems. The last version runimage is 14/11/06, with WBlinker
dated June 06.
This version does have a greyed out sort option in the menu list
created when menuing over the Passwords window.
If you let me know what the issues are I will see whether they are
resolvable.
I have since reduced the number of login entries that I SERIOUSLY need and
think that now I could sensibly keep within the 100. I often do find the
need for larger or longer fields, but that is another question altogether
and another application and so I am content with how things are as you
originally intended.
Thanks for your interest.
Regards Barry
