 Hello all,
 
I haven't fully tested this one, but I eventually figured out that the problems I was having with my grids were do to some of the grids having period characters in their names. Once I changed the grid names accordingly, the problems disappeared.
 
Before I elaborate further, maybe someone can tell me whether this is already a known issue or something others have experienced?
 
Thanks,
 
Lucas

It's known--take a look at -- link to nonexistent node ID 1069 -- , the comments under "name" tell what characters cannot be used

that's for fields Keith - do the same rules apply to grids?
 
FWIW I ran into problems lately with a field name with a space in it so to be on the safe side I would also avoid spaces - and punctuation in general. Like in file names the under_score is fine

I believe so, since the grid source is a field (or fields)

I do the same, though 5.2.5 says we can use spaces if the source field is enclosed with [ ].  I think there have been problems with spaces in the past.

I have to confirm it but I ran into problems with assigning multiple field values at once to a Pop-up list using items from another grid - didnt work at all if there's a space in the field name
