Hey Shane,

Hmm...

Well, firstly the file might not have just a single tag.

That was one advantage of the Label.

If Label is 6 AND Tags contains "x,y,z" THEN …

Label truly was binary and easy to identify.

With tags you'd have to say something like:

IF Tags contains 'Yes' AND Tags does NOT contain 'No' THEN …

The Label made it much more difficult for the user to make a mistake.

Probably the thing for Michael to do is apply his YES or NO tag with a script that PREVENTS both from being present automagically.

If I understand correctly where he's coming from.

Take Care,
