Yep, sub in a %20 for the space as Hutch%20Cabinet, it should then work.

Plonk him, Toy. (so it stops bothering the rest of us when you reply to him.)

I learned over a decade ago to avoid -any- spaces in filenames. WordCapitalizationMakesItReadableByTheLessAware.txt

What kills it is the spaces - terminates a line - and the ampersand.

Unix servers would do exactly the same - not a accepted format.

Hungarian something or other, Prolly the same twisted bastid that gave us RPN.

The point was that for years typing a link into a browsers address bar that contained spaces in a file name would add %20 in place of the spaces.

That convention has apparently gone by the wayside in the latest FireFox version.

It still does it in IE8.

And waaaay over a decade ago you were basically limited to an 8.3 file name in DOS.

Windows users came out of that dark age circa Win 95.

And what do you know? Look, it's _still_ causing problems. (spaces, not LFNs)

A.K.A. CamelCase. I always use it in my (electronics) designs.

Nothing wrong with RPN. "Algabraic" calculators are the pits. They all have a different way of doing things.

That is the UNIX code needed for a unix server. I'd enter a bug in Firefox and see if a response comes back to you.

Good idea ... indeed, they have been responsive in the past.

Thanks!

If you create a file and you want it to be easily accessible by as many people in as many environments as possible, do the world a favor and leave out the spaces. Just because you CAN use blanks doesn't mean you should. CapitalizeEachWord or_use_underscores instead, and you'll never have a file boomerang back at you from some person or program complaining that "I couldn't open it!"

As a software developer of almost 30 years, I can tell you that there are long-standing and well-entrenched programs and interfaces at almost every level that just aren't designed to accommodate file names with embedded blanks. If I could only have back all the untold hours I've spent trying to glue such programs together with hacks and patches I'd have far fewer gray hairs.

You're preaching to the choir, Bubba ...co-developed the very first _windows_ FidoNet mail software (WinMail), and later ported it to tcp/ip protocols instead of modem to modem handshaking, in the early days of the internet ... I'm no noob when it comes to both software developmentand understanding of tcp/ip protocols and how they are handled by almost every type of software, both client and server.

Once again, the problem was that, AS A CHECK FOR VALIDITY, I copied the url from the address bar of FireFox (where they were pasted to make sure they worked before putting then in an nntp message).

It turns out that FireFox has suddenly broken the convention of using "%20" in file name spaces in their latest update, just hours before.

My fault for not noticing that before posting ... mea culpa.

That said, I will do my personal file naming conventions as I damn well please and if anyone wants to take advantage of my largess when providing them for illustrative purposes, then they can damn well take them as they come when accepting, flies and all, or not ... their choice.

Grrr if its not one thing its another.... am downloading V 8 so I can open the file.

WOW getting a wealth of info that is not available anywhere else.

Can't read the comments (all very good) to fast otherwise I might miss something... :-)

Ya... I do the same thing.. for some reason I got anal and felt I needed to show this on all my drawings..... Thanks for bringing me back down to earth.

I was working on a door and the light went on I've done this the same way before!!!

Cool stuff. You say "co-developed"; was Al Gore involved?

Hadn't noticed that. Shame on them.

LOL! Well I did say if "you _want_ it to be easily accessible...". If you don't _want_ it to, then that's fine by me. :-) Actually I'm jumping into this conversation late without paying any attention to who said what, so my apologies if you took it as an affront. I was just making a general observation. :-)
