Personally, I don't concern myself with the sheet naming rules. If I try to
name a sheet and Excel complains then I just keep trying until Excel stops
complaining.

Out of curiosity I tried to find the rules in Excel 2002 help but couldn't
find anything close. I used these search phrases:

sheet names
worksheet names
sheet name rules
worksheet sheet name rules
sheet name conventions
naming sheets
naming worksheets
sheet name specifications
illegal characters in sheet names
sheet name characters
sheet name length

So, if that information is buried in the POS help file I don't know where to
look.
