You should avoid using special characters (! ; & ^ % $ £) in filenames.  Not all programs allow it, some with throw errors.  DOS based programs particularly can be funny.

Although this works, I'd be wary of other bits of software that aren't as forgiving.  Can leave you chasing your tail for hours.

Thanks Adam.  I looked back at the two reports I posted to see if they had any.  I know what you mean, it can cause an issue in trying to work with that particular file in some random cases.

Good point I automatically do this (Hate "C:\Program Files\Blah\logger 12.exe" for example) lol

Also I've never used a special char like !*£$ only _ - ~ iirc
