Done a bit more work on this... 

If there are no numerics in the file name it displays on the pinboard
okay, Eg: "BPForms".

With regard to my requirements, It'll only behave if I add a lower case
Alpha character after the BP thus:

"BPx2602"

Or a lower case Alpha character after the numerics thus:

"BP2602z"

What a load of ......

Thoughts...

Thanks
Dave
