Topic: If you put a Dash in you name, no DB edits for you

[FPF-DieHard]

The DB editor doesn't like dashes in the name and will crash often when I try to make edits.  From now on, if you have a dash in you name I'm not going to waiste my time trying to edit you account as more often than not the DB editor will crash and cause un-needed server downtime.

Whoops - I'll see if I can get that corrected.  Did you say earlier that periods were also causing issues?

No point in adding rules if we can fix the tools instead

the periods only cause formatting problems when importing the data into Excel to run reports.   Don't worry about that, I've found a work-around.

I've never had a problem with dashes or underscores. Ever. Course there has been a new version or two of the editor since SG7. But, like these: Dizzy-L or Dizzy_F? Never had an issue. Things like these: /.';`!@#$%^&*()<>?:"][\ all those are bad.
