Hi

 You may be able to alter the information in the header using Ray Hicks
 FACS Assistant program, you will have to edit then one by one though,
 If the field you wish to edit is the patient id then this may not work I
 cant remember if he included this field. If that cannot edit the patient
 id field or you dont want to pay the scandalous $20 price tag then you
 could use a program called Ledit, its a simple text editor available free
 from www.sophists.com. Be very careful with this program, you must not
 change the number of characters in the header or it all turns to rubbish,
 so you could change the name from Smith to ***** or something. The safe
 thing to do is to make a copy of original files. When saving dont use
 the "save" or "save as" command but click in the little box to make
 the window disappear then save when prompted. It is a rather tedious job.
