>>Hi,
>>I am creating label files (for various size lables) and thinking about including in the file name the label size. For example, label_1.1x4.lbx and label_1.1x4.lbt. Then in the program I will use this name with parentheses as for example:
>>
>>cLabelName = 'label_1.1x4'
>>label form (cLabelName) noconsole to printer 
>>
>>
>>Is there a possible problem with this approach of having periods in the file name?

>Not that I am aware of. As long as the file name is legal, it should work provided that you use name expression, in other words parentheses.

Call me superstitious but I avoid it at all costs. Also spaces.

(Old saying: I'm not superstitious, it's bad luck to be superstitious).
