Technically the new serial number merely needs to be larger than the previous, but best practices say that the serial number should really be something like YYYYMMDD## (where ## is a count of how many changes made that day). So if you changed the data today it would be 2007081401 If you made a second change, 2007081402 etc -- rgds Stephen
