I'm pretty sure each record has an ID. This would be for ensuring unique file names, right?

Jacqueline,

You said earlier you don't have a field in the database for the file name. But does the database table have a unique numerical ID field for each record? If so, could you strip out the non-ASCII characters and then append the numerical ID to the file name?

I'm drifting toward the idea of removing non-ascii characters. That might satisfy all requirements, at least for now. We don't do Sanskrit or Chinese yet. Or alternately I could bite the bullet and convert my build tool to insert metadata into the clickable lists. That isn't terribly difficult, I was just wondering if there was a different way using what we already have.
