    Hi Mike

    I have a question for you.  Is there an ability in GEMS to assign an
    alpha-numeric number to the default precinct category?  If there is not an
    ability to assign an alpha-numeric number, is there a possibility of
    revising GEMS to allow that?

    The reason I am asking is.....for instance,  In Ottawa I deal with Advance
    Polls (10 days before voting day) and also Polls on Voting Day.  When I
    number for my polls in GEMS, I prefer to have the ID number a number that I
    can readily identify as being in a specific ward and poll without having to
    look at a report.  So,  I would number as follows:

    1001   = Ward 1, Poll 1
    1003   = Ward 1, Poll 3
    5002   = Ward 5, Poll 2
    14005 =  Ward 14, Poll 5.....and so on.....

    The reason I am asking about alpha-numeric is that I am also dealing with a
    unique situation with Advance Polls where they are not the "usual situation"
    of listing them as a cumulative reportunit....they must be listed as a
    precinct (Greg Forsythe knows all about our unique situation)....so  if I
    have an Advance Poll, I would also like to be able to see it as a "unique"
    ID that is readily identifiable, such as

    Advance Poll number 3 in Ward 2 could be ID'd as follows......

    A2003

    Advance Poll number 10 in Ward 15 could be....

    A10015
