File name rules
By default, report datasets are named using their source query file name therefore file names must adhere to the following rules:
•File names must start with a letter or underscore followed by other letters, numbers or underscore characters
•No spaces or special characters are allowed
•The file extension must be .sql (e.g. query_filename.sql).
When you start FastReports, Dispatch will display an error message for each file that it encounters that is named incorrectly.
While we could eliminate these errors from within Dispatch by removing or replacing the offending characters, we decided that might only lead to confusion when trying to provide user-friendly names for queries.
