Are there any characters not allowed in file names now?
I could never use a "-" in a file name before! I am at a new job with Office
2003. |

You can use any digits or letters, any character with ASCII value greater
than 127, space, or any of these: $ % ' - _ @ ~ ` ! ( ) { } ^ # & + , ; = [ ] That is, everything except : * ? / \ | " You can also have multiple periods within a filename (the file extension is whatever follows the last of them) -- but I recommend you don't do that. Maximum length is 246 or 256 characters depending on your file system. "fbowles" wrote in message ... I could never use a "-" in a file name before! I am at a new job with Office 2003. |

And, AFAIK, hyphens have always been permitted.
