John, What we do here in the HealthTeam, is use HT followed by a number (the first number was 1). So we named it with our department name (abbreviated) then numbers. We haven't had any troubles in 5 years (knock on wood).

Naming them after the "owner" doesn't work out too well - that changes too often. Naming them after the location also doesn't work too well - too much moving. Any suggestions? -jav * John Valenti Systems Analyst, Labor & Industrial Relations * * 408 S Kedzie Hall, Michigan State University, E.
