I'm still perfecting my own naming convention and always looking to improve. The primary reason for my email was a thank you and my comment was only meant as a observation question. In the Webinar Geoff (and I love everything you do Geoff) had his documents and pictures in folders with country being the highest location level yet his "Source List Name" had state as the highest location level. I was only wondering why. Olwyn
