Perhaps it is not a space, just looks like one. If in Excel you use File +
Save AS, type MY followed by Alt + digits 2 5 5 on the numeric keypad followd
by some file.xls, the resulting filename looks like MY file.xls but the
character between the Y and the f is NOT a space.

I think this is the problem. I wiped out the filename and retyped it with
the space and it worked ok!
