:-) well, I guess one of the calc experts might have an opinion on that. My gripe is that as I delete the prefix when all letters are gone ( e.g. now we have a blank prefix ) I get a dialog telling me that the sheet name is illegal, so.. naturally I assumed that's what you intended. Additionally I can enter any other so-called illegal character e.g. '*' or '/' etc. get the same error dialog and *still* can save a prefix containing those characters. Personally I would not check every keypress, an alternative would be to check the prefix when you press 'ok' and if it is illegal then don't close the option dialog but instead restore the previous 'legal' entry ( selecting the entry probably is an idea also ) and raise the error dialog ( but there are other workflows I suppose )Additionally you still can get the prefix name to > be blank ( or at least I managed to do that ) by attempting to change the > name by delete, when all the name is deleted you get a message saying the > sheet prefix is illegal ( actually I find that behaviour annoying e.g. I > would prefer/expect the error after I press ok ) And if fact with the blank > ( from the error scenario above ) you can press ok and now the default > prefix is blank:-)For me allowing a blank prefix is a feature and not a bug!
If someone wants to have his/her default worksheets named with only numbers (1, 2, 3...) who are we to deny him/her of that? Unless there is some technical reason against that I have overlooked of course.
just what I mentioned above thanks, Noel
