A idi Sh d Ch• The Problem with Shady (“special”) Characters in ID fields:

Avoiding Shady Charactersy ( p )

– Can cause unclear or complex error messages when running reports or reconciling bank statementsM b bl t fi d C l U d it i th– May be unable to find a Commonly Used item in the drop down list

– May cause incorrect data when trying to create a Report Group

• Why is this a problem?– MIP uses query language that assigns special meanings– MIP uses query language that assigns special meanings

to these characters. Therefore when it comes upon these characters in the ID field, the system gets confused.
