I've had applications go through error-free with all of the above (spaces, special characters, numbers). _____________________________________________________ Roshni Mark Research Management Massachusetts General Hospital P: 617-954-9696 E: xxxxxx@partners.org -----Original Message----- From: Research Administration List [mailto:xxxxxx@hrinet.org] On Behalf Of Lesley Zajac Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 4:55 PM To: xxxxxx@hrinet.org Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] NIH submission: file names with spaces or special characters Almost all my .pdf attachments had spaces in the names, but never any special characters or numbers i.e. biosketch smith.pdf Lesley S.

Have you run into many troubles with attachment files with spaces or special characters? Yes, we've got 1 or 2 errors about this before, but just wondering if you experience any difficulties when you don't follow this guideline closely for NIH submissions. As always, thanks for sharing.
