It definitely is not easy to get 100% right, 80% would be interesting enough. I disagree on the desktop search bit, that is mostly helpful if you know a lot about the document you are looking for. I would find a name-suggester that would take: The current date, e.g. 20110414, an abbreviation of the style you are using, for example 'LTR' for letters and the subject of the document plus a version number useful. The most work is probably expanding the various document styles to include a field that refers to another field that is the most suitable source for the subject and an abbreviation scheme. And this assumes of course that people rarely use their own document styles. Regards, Walter
