File Naming

Tip
titleOption A & BAll Reporting Software Options

Unless you have a compelling reason to change the recommended file name, we suggest that you accept the default choice.

...

.  If you do need to change the name, please read the note labeled Important at the bottom of this article.


File Name Pattern

The name given to a new report file by  by  Option A or B, B, or D (installed version), and the one recommended for Option Cthird-party or manually-created text files, follows the pattern of : -  form prefix + ID number + sequence number + extension.

...

The last part is the extension of ".txt" ( Option A or C) or ".xls" ( Option B), which identifies the file as text or an Excel file.

Naming Example

If you are using  Option A and save a Form 26 file in a folder already containing another Form 26 file and both files have a Certification ID number of C1234567, the file would be named PC123456701.txt.

If you decide to use a different name, the first letter of the file name must still match the form type and use the correct extension for the software option as shown above; the initial letter is used by the Pesticide Reporting Service Bureau to identify the type of form that was submitted and the extension identifies the file type.
