Restrict Serial Number Letters

[gbrown]

But wait... there's more (if you were reading my previous note):

Is there a way to restrict the letters to a certain generation set? I don't want to use the letters I, O, and L since it is all too easy to mistake things like an i for an l. Sooooo... other than cranking out my own s/n generator is there a built-in way to do this?

Good idea. I ran into the same problem using SUF70 to generate our serials. What I do is generate them, export them to a text file, do a search and replace on "O" with "0" and "I" with "X" (or whatever). Then I save the text file, clear the serial list in SUF70 and then re-import from the text file. Works flawlessly.

Something more elegant would be better, but for now, this should do the trick.

Oh well... I just cranked out a VB program to do it... no biggie.

Thanks.
