    Question Number of folders on a server

    Gary No idea about folders question but just a little thought. If you use a naming convention for the various files that includes the Record Reference then you may be able to get away with a lot less folders. I did similar sort of thing with 60,000 drawings. I used the Drg prefix as the...
