BMD and Census Check query

Firstly, apologies if this is the wrong place to put this, but it didn't seem to fit in elsewhere on the forum.
I have created a quick BMD Census check query which, hopefully, some of you may find useful. This is not intended in any way to be a replacement for any other queries or plug-ins. Personally I use it just to help point me to where I need to possibly focus any future research.
The query lists all individuals in a project (plus a few other details) and any BMD/Census entries, indicating whether an entry exists and if there is some missing information (e.g. partial dates for births). For census entries, it checks to see if there is a census event for the year in question (including the 1939 register) and, if not, estimates whether that person was possibly alive at the time of the census. Full details of what the results mean is given in the 'Description' on the 'General' tab.
There are a large number of columns, however, I wrote this more for exporting to Excel. You can, of course, hide any columns you wish to by selecting the column in the 'Columns' tab and then choosing 'Hidden' from the 'Type:' drop down menu at the bottom of the screen.
Regards
Steve
