Hi Clay Fox,

Thanks very much for getting back to me!

That was the only way I could get it to work as well - I just thought that using pattern matching would have been a bit nicer, but apparently not??

Thanks again - I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out!

I do not think you could probably do it in a validation on the field it self with a pattern. I would trigger conditional rules for each on the field or on another button.

Each would be a contains function and check for each special character or maybe one with an OR statement.

That I think is how you would have to do this.

Not super elequent but gets it done.

Pattern Matching Custom Pattern to check special chars

Can anyone help me with the custom pattern that I need to enter in Infopath
2007 to ensure that users don't enter any characters that Sharepoint would
see as invalid characters in a file name.

I have a text field in infopath that I am using to rename a file stored in a
sharepoint document library. I would like to ensure that users don't enter
characters that Moss2007 would see as invalid. Basically the characters I
don't want them to enter are below:

" # % & * : < > ? \ / { | } ~

I realise that this is probably very simple, however I can't find any
documentation on this, and normal regular expressions don't seem to work.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Can anyone give me the pattern that I should be entering to check if they
have entered any of these characters (this will need to be done without using
code).

I am using Infopath 2007
