Marc, We are scanning up to 5000 documents for our customers per month. Each one does have a unique identifier, but when we used to hold them in one folder we found speed in retrieving them was getting very slow. We now break them down by month/year and put them in the respective folder of their creation date. Since then things have gotten much faster and easier to pull up. So I would recommend some sort of breakdown scheme to store them into different folders.

Any suggestions on how to orginize 30,000 scanned files? I remember years ago there were limits to the number of files per folder but I have not heard anything about that the last few years Thanks Marc _______________________________________________________________________ This Email has been scanned for all viruses by PAETEC Email Scanning Services, utilizing MessageLabs proprietary SkyScan infrastructure.
