To further complicate matters, in a server share environment, it is possible to copy files with bad characters to a server, and then have the server complain that it cannot find the file, or the file doesn't exist.
So follow the mantra, NEVER use ANY special characters in a file name. If fact, when naming anything destined for the network or internet, use only lower case and numbers and if you have to a normal dash. Avoid spaces where possible. my 2¢ Bob On Jan 25, 2011, at 10:50 AM, Calvin Waterbury wrote: > Hi David, > > The first thing to understand about Windows® file names you can't use the > following... > > \ / : * ?
