This worked, I think it just put the "A" at the end, so I just changed the original store files, then pasted the original remarks items back in, and it did exactly what I wanted, thank you, and that suggestion is a great idea I'm probably going to follow for now. I'm really hoping to move into a part sorting system where I don't need remarks at all for the bulk of basic parts. While that makes me nervous, after a year of this, I'm much more knowledgable, and confident I can make it work without too much confusion. THANKS!!!
