Actually, I should be a bit more specific: the variable substitution used in LabelFormat is depreciated, which means that in a year or two it will be removed. If you are using a LabelFormat such as "Month-", which will automatically generate the above, that code will remain as it is quite simple, easy to understand, and easy to maintain. Best regards, Kern PS: Programming Python is easy. If you take the default DirStartUp.py script, delete a few example print/JobReport statements and change: job.VolumeName="TestA-%d" % numvol to job.VolumeName="Month-%d" % numvol you will most likely have what you do now. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
