HI Jeff,

Fair point I could have stated the operating system (XP) but the point is
not if the characters are valid or not, simply that only Alpha Numerics are
allowed Despite the legal characters such as an underscore cause the
filename taken from the title field to break.

So for example, title = My_FileName

When saving the new document, the Save Dialog box contains 'My'

Whereas 'My Filename' works

See my dilema now ?

 Next
 Process.Start("mailto:" & New String(ch))
