Yep... it was a spelling mistake in the old version. {grin}

Reports and so forth have all been edited to maintain backward
compatibility (it searches on 'cancel' so it will take Cancelled or
Canceled.

Cancelled isn't a word I found out recently... hehe So I finally changed
it.

Uhm... what you CAN do though is do a search on 'Cancelled' (by typing
it) so it will set your found set to everyone that is spelled the old
way. Then use the Replace command (available from the Scripts menu to
change them all to 'Canceled' with one step.

Sorry about that... I forgot to mention that in the new version notes...
