And now, today's bug [names with punctuation]
I'm confident that space and hyphen are both "recognized characters",
whatever that means. Both are acceptable in sheet names and filenames.
If
neither were acceptable in ChartObject names, then the runtime system
would
raise an error (as it does when renaming files or worksheets with names
containing invalid characters). Instead, a ChartObject will happily eat
and
regurgitate names with these characters, but the collection starts
behaving
as nutty as the list of characters that cause the nuttiness.

I'm curious, does this problem occur with other shapes (besides chart
objects) as well?

Indeed it does as I mentioned in my previous post, names with punctuation
can be accessed as Shape but not as Some-type-of-DrawingObject. A Space in
the name isn't a problem but a dot is.

It's hit me and prompted one of just a handful of questions I've raised in
this ng, see the last paragraph in this -
