Tracy,
I was not aware that PE did not accept "_" in file names - that is
absolutely ridiculous and for that reason alone, for me, the program would
be more trouble that it's worth.

I use Legacy with Passage Express to create autorun CD-ROMs. I've
found that PE regularly removes any "_" for file names, so all files
with "_" aren't found and I see the dratted box with the red cross for
my images etc that have "_" in them. I've had to work around this by
changing all of my "_" in file names to "-". Learning early on about
spaces in file names from this list was a wonderful tip.
I create reports using html, the coding isn't particularly great and I
usually end up reworking it, very time consuming. PE won't accept
text folder names in the root directory, it shows up in the CD-ROM
with text folder names you've used, but in the root directory the
folders are listed as numbers. I've ended up keeping two sets of
headers and footers that I use for generating my html reports - one
with text folder names and one with number folder names, so that I can
send the PE CD-ROM out to those with later model PCs and a generic
CD-ROM for those with older PCs or MACs. I'm not good at programming,
so I do all the changes myself - very very time consuming.
Cheers
Tracy
