I have a mailbox holder that represents a bunch of clients, each for a period of time, and will be receiving legal process mail for them. Here is what I am trying to do:
Main mailbox customer is PMB 434. I want to add each client to his box as 434-1= Client A, 434-2= Client B, etc.
Is there a way to do this? He currently has 55 of these clients, so using an alphabetical suffix did not work. |

Tough one, Jan. There are two ways you can do this, though neither are exactly what you need.
1) You can set up a bunch of boxes from 434-1 through 434-60 (or more) and fill these people in as individual boxholders, maybe setting up a fee structure specific to this clients.
2) You can set these clients up as 'other mail recipients', but you will not be able to use the 434-1 through 434-55 scheme that you have derived. |

Thanks Gary! The first scenario was what I had in mind, however, I get a message "The value you entered is not a valid entry for the field". For example, you may have entered text in a numeric field, or a number that is larger than the field size permits.
Can you give me an idea of what the limitations are on the box number fields? |

| By limitations, I mean, can't use hyphens, can only take a 4 digit number, etc. |

| The problem is that the field on the Box Number Creator only allows a number (dash cannot be used). What you need to do is create the boxes using the number field as you have tried, and use the prefix modifier to add the "-1", then the "-2". Clunky, but Simon does not anticipate the type of situation you are trying to conjure. |
