Peter,

It has recently come to my attention that when you have a Single Quote(') in the folder name you cannot open that folder directly.  When the quote is removed the folder opens just fine.  The error that is returned is "Expected ')'".  I've tried using two single quotes in the name and I get the same error message. It comes across to me as if javascript is not able to terminate the string properly.

Thanks,

-Arick

Hi Arick,

I'll note this. I think you're right in concluding that it happens in JS somewhere. I'll track that one down.

On a more general note: DMX is more permissive of naming than WebDAV is. After all, WebDAV needs to conform to both Windows folder naming and web compliant folder naming. You'll find that special characters can throw this off.

Peter
