Hi Andrew, The problem is not the length of the account name, it is that each component must begin with a letter. Your "0796" account name component is the problem here. I think what happens here is that the account name is recognized up to the ":0796" bit and then it does not recognize that as anything useful by itself. (I admit that the error message isn't really useful; it's auto-generated by the parser generator.) Just call it "A0796" or something like that and it should work. I hope this helps,
