You know I have to admit, I've been getting a bit lost here at times with all of this BUT (not shouting) I do see what John's trying to say now - I think! See, I download all the files. I then email them out to my team. Obviously I dont email out the blanks sooooooooo, my teams +PAGE numbers are not going to be right are they because there's big gaps in the number sequences to allow for the blank files? I send out 1862B1-0380.tif as the last page before the alphabetical change so that files +PAGE,0380 & +PAGE,0381 - the next file after the blanks is 1862B1-0392.tif ending up with +PAGE,0392 & +PAGE,0393 Oh ooooops. Now what have I done? Cheers Teri -- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.273 / Virus Database: 156 Release Date: 25/10/2001
