Please log in for more thread options Thanks. I do not personally need to distinguish them. It's the downloads
that shows them as different and because I am no expert in book-keeping I am
always afraid to do anything that might be "wrong". What I have done is to
just rename them (name change) as you suggested. Wanted some reassurance
that I was not doing a book-keeping no-no from someone more knowledgeable
<grin>
Thanks for replying.
