Can one use hyphens in an Excel file name? And if so, is
it different from 2000 and 2002 versions?
 
Hi!

Quote from Excel Help under filenames:

File names cannot include any of the following characters: forwar
slash (/), backslash (\), greater-than sign (>), less-than sign (<)
asterisk (*), question mark (?), quotation mark ("), pipe symbol (|)
colon (:), or semicolon (;).

Must say, the first time I read it it surprised me: it let me us
apostrophes, which was nice for pedantic punctuation!;)
