Thankyou Bob and Joan for your input on this posting.

Joan, you may recall I had some of my music at the Cambs Convention. This was indexed in much the same way as you suggest but I use Word 'Table'. I started doing it this way many years ago before Excel was intro-duced so it has become "second nature" to me. A bonus using Word 'Table' is that you can ask the PC to find any Song Title, go to any Page, Sort any Songs and/or Pages in any order you like. I know Excel is a great programme and has a few more professional features to offer but basically, it operates in much the same way as the Word Table so, as you say it's probably best to stick with the system I am used to.

However, although I have all the SD Cards sorted and indexed (I used the KN SD Explorer Tool for this), these are listed under the number of the card and my chosen name. e.g. SDGB5 - Joan Banfield's Work (01)-20.06.2006. What I would like to do now is collate all the data (files & songs) as one large document, sort it in alphabetical order which will then put all the Ballads, Country, Folk etc., together making it easier when looking for a particular style for a specific song.

If you have any thoughts on this, I'd be glad to know of them.

Before closing, I heard you were feeling quite poorly a few weeks ago. I hope you are fully recovered now.

Thank you all again.

Audrey
