Thanks Teresa for the suggestion. I will look at that utility, but in my case the "Van" has never been dropped, so I would never want it to index under just Hoosan. I am concerned that I am going to have to hand edit all these if I choose to migrate my database over. That would be a lot of work. Just fixing my notes will probably take me 5 years and then all the two word names that I have is a daunting task. But I am only 40, lets hope I have 30 years or more to accomplish this! :)
