While this is a cumbersome workaround, I would create a separate group strictly for names such as O'Toole then add that special group to the computed group. You could put all special names into this one group or create a separate group for each special name since you may not want to add O'Toole and O'Malley to the same computed group. You would then need to create a "special group" for each individual person that you may have this computed group problem with. As I said, cumbersome, but probably doable.

From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ian Trimnell Sent: Friday, December 01, 2006 11:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Login name restrictions One for Friday afternoon (well it is here!)... Does anyone know of any character restrictions in the login name field (ID 101)? (ARS 6.0.1 patch 1368, W2K server, SQL Server 2000) In the 9 or so years we've been running AR System we have been using real names for login so that we can easily see who is doing what through work logs. We have a user with the surname "O'Toole" (note the apostrophe). The user has no problems signing in over the past 18 months. I have some Computed Groups and I was testing adding some users to the definition and if I try this particular user the group definition can not be saved. In computed group definitions Groups are encased in double quotes (") and Users are encased in single quotes ('). This falls apart when the user has a single quote in their login name. I have checked the manuals and there is no mention of any restrictions on field 101. I have just tried to use the KnowledgeBase but it doesn't appear to be working at the moment! Any thoughts chaps & chapesses?
