Heck, Karen, thats just too simple ... who'd want to do that? d:| Target names are uniquely formed to prevent errors in stream, and, as all documents are being fed into a legal process, I'm super conservative about holding on to everything.
In any event, I thought this would be a good opportunity to get in touch with Plugin file management. And, I think I know what I'm doing wrong.

I always do a "delete" before a "rename" just in case. But I'm wondering why you would bother using a plugin for this? I always use RBase's internal rename command and can't say I've ever had an issue with it.k Karen -----Original Message----- From: Bruce A.
