Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

This article applies to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb) and to a Microsoft Access project (.adp).



SYMPTOMS
After you save a data access page, you notice that one or more unexpected underscore characters appear in both the page name in Access and in the file name.



CAUSE
When you first saved the page, you entered a file name that contained an invalid character, such as an equal sign (=). Access automatically replaces the invalid character with an underscore character without displaying an error.



Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

 * 1) Open the sample database Northwind.mdb.
 * 2) In the Database window, click Pages under Objects, and then click New.
 * 3) Click Design, and then click OK.
 * 4) After the new page appears, click Save on the File menu.
 * 5) When you are prompted for the file name, type =TestPage.
 * 6) Click Save. Note that the page is saved without an error message and that the equal sign (=) is changed to an underscore character: _TestPage.htm

Additional query words: pra underline underlined
