Don't let them use edge cases & you won't have to fix them ;) This is especially important if you have multi-platform access, as illegal characters on one OS may not be on another. I'd make a rule on replacing umlauts too, decide whether Müller should become Muller or Mueller & stick to it. | |

But everybody in the office has stick to the rules and not name it like this. I was wondering if I can do anything about it if someone doesn't stick to the rules. | |
