No I mean the name you see when you open the params. I was doing stuff like this
MyParam = Param( " % MyName ( ^ ) ", .... It was a weird little system I had, each character meant something to me and when I saw them in the param window I knew what they meant. I thought since it was a literal string I could name it anything I wanted but when AB went to save those names there was some character or character combo that caused it to abort the save before it finished. I never did find out exactly which one, I just removed all the oddball characters from all the names and it has worked fine ever since. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob" <sidharth...@yahoo.com> To: <amibroker@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, October 11, 2009 11:54 AM Subject: [amibroker] Re: AB vers. 5.29 > Steve, > > Interesting.
