Hello Dave,

The idea was for playing a tournament from the end of a line, using the PGN as a
guide. Could you  show us what you have done ? You should be able to correct the
header by running it with Chess Assistant or some other utility. You could put
it inside ChessBase convert to new format CBH, then export as PGN. This should
correct your header.

When you play a tournament in Arena it will correct the game automatically.

Best,

Michael
