Phyllis: I am sure you will not find that sort of marking. You can staple a tab onto the film strip and number it with pen or something on the tab. Each film strip is normally cut into shorter sections when developed. They are then placed in an envelope. If you leave it in one long strip you will end up rolling the film up and thus damaging it. My developing quipment is up in the attic and hasn't been used in years but when I did use it, I kept the film in a waxlike paper and filed it by numbers and dates on the paper envelope. You can buy the envelopes in any photo supply house. Bill Covey Author of: Watson Is Where It Wuz http://home.att.net/~billcovey/index.html www.1stBooks.com/bookview/3857

Bill -- My film is already cut into short strips. But the staple thing may work. Perhaps I could even find some archival tape that would stick to the edge of the strip so that I could put a number on that. I'll check with my photo lab to see if this would interfere in any way when I need more copies printed.
