RE: [LegacyUG] File Naming Conventions

Hi Charles I use it a lot and there is no problem in the province of Québec since many children have double names with an hyphen, but you must make sure that the first is the mother'sname and the second the father's, which breaks the father line. Best wishes Claude Langevin, French team From: app
