I want to name a sheet 1/1/08. I right-clicked on the sheet tab but it does
not accept the slash character. Is there some way to do this?

As you've found, the '/' character is not allowed in a sheet name (since it
is a valid path separator). You will have to use a different character, such
as '_'.

Some characters are not allowed in a sheet name. There is no way to put the
characters into the sheet name. Select an alternate scheme, like "1-1-08",
"1.1.08", "1_1_08", etc.
