Denies certain characters.
Hi,
Why does microsoft office not allow certain chars in the file name? i.e. '[', ']' is not allowed to be part of a file name. I was just curious because i have a labelling format that uses '[' and ']'. Maybe an excel guru could shed some light on this subject? |

when you link to a close file you use
='C:\myfolder[MyFiles.xls]Sheet1'!A1 so I suspect the ='C:\myfolder[My]Files.xls]Sheet1'!A1 would be problematic. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy wrote in message oups.com...
