best practices for naming documents

[Dave Hagan]

Hello

I am trying to find information on best practices for naming Word and Excel
documents. My end users are using multiple periods in documents (e.g.
this.document.example.doc) and it is driving the company anti virus program
(McAfee) crazy. I've searched the knowledgebase but could not find anything.

All help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,

allow, if you can, digits [0-9], letters [a-z],
hyphens, one period for seperating the file's extension,
and nothing else. But its easier said than done.
If the documents aren't named programmatically, its difficult,
not to say, hopeless.
