Actually, he means the form itself. There are several forms in ITSM and possibly the base product, that have this issue.

I do not know of any actual form names in the base product that have a slash (and I'm also not going to read through all 900+ right now to check....) ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of J.T.

CAUTION: Patches that affect this form may continue to look for it with the slash in the name so it may be necessary to rename the form back before patching and then rename it again afterwards. --- J.T.

I remember this being mentioned several months ago as a known problem with some of the views in some of the forms in the ITSM 7 application. You would think that they would have fixed this by patch 007, but they have not.

Had a form that would not open in the MT. Had alink that opened it as a dialog but all we got was a blank (white) form. Had MT client side logging turned on and the only thing you could see was the alink trying to open the dialog. I even tried to open the form using a direct link with no success. Would just get a blank page with no source code. I inactivated all alinks but that did not help. I re-saved the form and flushed the cache. Still no page would display and there were no errors in any log files. I even re-imported the form with no luck. This form works fine on MT 6.3 p20. The name of the form is: Host\Device Validation. The next step was renaming the form thinking maybe the "\" was the problem. I renamed it to "Host Device Validation". This fixed the problem. The form opened with no issues. I do not recall seeing anything about certain characters not being allowed in form (object) names. __Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" html___ __Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" html___ __Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" html___ __Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" html___ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
