Bobby, Standard Windows computer practice for absolute safety in the use of file names is only to use alpha-numeric characters together with underscore and hyphens as separators - no spaces.
May I suggest that you abide by recommended procedures.

I, like most, use names of people in pictures and most documents as part of the filename. I was using the Picture Center to accomplish this task. The problem I ran into was using an apostrophe in names like O'Donnell. If I had a group photo, I would attach the photo to each of the individuals in the photo after editing the filename using the rename button. I would then use the blue navigation arrows near the bottom of the right panel(next/previous person using picture) to check my work. It worked great until I had a filename that contained O'Donnell. In this case when I clicked on either arrow the program would not react. I got no error message and no change in the highlighted individual. If I deleted the apostrophe the arrows functioned properly. I have submitted this as a bug.
