Kathryn, I tried it out and it was the best one I found. But since I only plan to use it once I am going with the free, unlimited "Rename-It!" from the open source forums on Source Forge. It doesn't integrate into explorer the way BFR did - it's a separate dialog window but will get me through this fopah! Thanks for the help, John B. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of John Bartow Thanks, I'll try it out! -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Kathryn Bassett http://www.publicspace.net/windows/BetterFileRename/ I love this program. The free version you can do 10 files at a time, and I quickly bought the unlimited version. I'm glad I looked this up for you, because I see they've brought out a new version. In addition to the caps case, you can "add at beginning" "add at end" "replace at beginning", "replace anywhere" etc - about two dozen choices of things. The thing I do the most often is changing the names of photos from my digital camera. For instance, I'll have a file called: HPIM0911.JPG through HPIM0950.JPG and using Better File Rename, I'll end up with 20050730CheckerShow-911.jpg through 20050730CheckerShow-950.jpg I have a couple of my genealogy clients I've got using it as well. -- Kathryn Rhinehart Bassett (Pasadena CA) "Genealogy is my bag" "GH is my soap" kathryn at bassett.net http://bassett.net _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
