Hi there, thanks for responding. That's an interesting way of getting around those pesky character limits... I wish I would have been able to do much earlier, but most of the (thousands!) of items are already in QuickBooks. I can't erase them so I would have to go in and edit every single item if I were to organize it this way. What a hassle... I wish QuickBooks just had a larger character limit or none at all... Thanks for the suggestion though.
