I'm coming late to this conversation, but one question Rose asked was "Or do you find the FileID useful at all?"
Count me among those who think FileIDs are worthless and happily leaves them all blank. Of course, I have an alphabetical by surname filing system for my paper files, subdivided if necessary by location and document type, so I can always find what I'm looking for without consulting Legacy or any other file index. For those who prefer a numerical filing system, I would think one would always have to use the FileID.
