Kay, I've also heard there might be issues with capital letters. But that is probably more about internet files. Like David suggested, I wouldn't use underscores, but maybe you could use dashes instead.
My naming convention suggestion would be to start a file with last name, then the first name, then the date, and then the event or document type. Maiden names are tricky. I go back and forth on that. Perhaps add the married name after the given name, if the file is a photo, say, of a woman later in her life when she is married, or her death certificate. Then it groups with all the other event files in her name. Good luck - this is a task I am dreading to do, too. Susan On 6/11/06, Kay Keating <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
So my most pressing problems now is to settle on a document file naming convention that will be useful to both the next custodian of this database and future versions of LEGACY.
