I've just hit this error, which is apparently by design:
Connection Name may only contain alphanumeric characters, the underscore (_) and the hyphen (-).
I found this forum post, but was a bit depressed that connection names I've been using forever are now invalid... and as I've had to change one of them, I now need to change my entire naming system:
The character exclusion list may or may not vary by operating system and, more or less, will probably contain...
<:/\|?*()%&'$@^~#"> {code}
Can we reconsider a return to how it used to be for 4.0EA2? I use various constructs to ensure an appropriate message is carried with the connection everywhere it goes:
## WARNING ## - Production
Now I need to come up with a new naming system... <sigh>
Greg.
