I find I run into problems with underscores a lot in third party applications. Webservices too. As a general rule I like to keep everything alphanumeric if I can. Although I did like the underscore security used in the old Allaire forums, where you tagged include files with an underscore. The application layer would then redirect any pages that tried to directly load files that being with an underscore.
Too bad that was the ONLY thing even remotely intelligent about that system. So wait, why can't files being with an underscore now? Are you just talking CFCs?

In what cases are you speaking of that the underscore is illegal? I have used them for folders and filenames with no problems. ~Todd At 03:22 PM 1/14/2003 -0500, you wrote: >I'm with you Dave.
