Hi Adrian, I put in the NAS server extension to see if I could create the required number of 255 but the actual link shown on the photos is Z:\ and then the folder names (various ones) and the file name. Sorry if I caused any confusion there - I was trying to add in the extension from the NAS server in case it was adding that in but there is no reference to \NASSXXXX(Z) in the actual photo references. Again, my apologies, Marion
