using spaces instead of underscores
 

Hello folks,

Has anyone encountered problems when using spaces in
worksheet names, file names, folder names in excel
programming? I find spaces look neater and improves
readability and I would prefer spaces but thought I would
get some advice prior to beginning to create my folder and
filename structures.

Please note there will be numerous links to external files.

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Jason

Just remember that XL encloses the SheetName/[WorkbookName]SheetName element
in single quotes when there are white spaces.

=[Book3.xls]Sheet1!$A$1
='Sheet 2'!$A$1
='[Book3.xls]Sheet 2'!$A$1
='C:\Documents and Settings\Paul Wilson\My Documents\[Book3.xls]Sheet
2'!$A$1

If you create such formulas by code it is always wise to enclose this part
with single quotes

SomeCell.formulaR1C1= "='" & SheetName & "'!R100C100"
SomeCell.formulaR1C1= "='[" & WorkBookName & "]" & SheetName & "'!R100C100"
SomeCell.formulaR1C1= "='Path[" & WorkBookName & "]" & SheetName &
"'!R100C100"

XL will drop them if they are not needed.

Regards

Paul

Searching names with spaces can be a pain, can find each
space separated element of the name (but depends on the
find method).
