     Hi Pete
     I do not seem to encounter such problems. With a correct
     PGN I can open the file with an editor, copy it to the
     clipboard and under CA 7.1 (build 729) insert the game
     with Shift+Alt+Ins into CA 7.1. And after saving the
     game as PGN the games header is correct too. Are you
     perhaps working with PGN in new format created by ChessBase
     GUI. It may be that this format does not work but I have not tried.
