Or if 26 folders aren't enough, you can create 676 folders and use the first two letters of an image name to identify the folder it belongs in.Or if you happen to be using numerical names instead of alphabetical names, create 100 folders numbered 00 to 99 (or 1000 numbered 000 to 999) and put the image files into the folders their names begin with.Either way, all these image subfolders can reside in one main images folder, and it's a lot faster and easier to deal with than the hierarchical system you're trying to build ...================================ Kenneth Grome, WebDNA Consultant 808-737-6499 http://webdna.net ================================------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
