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 pagearticle.


File Name Pattern

The name given to a new report file by  Option A, B, or D (installed version), and the one recommended for third-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.
