>>Does anyone out there know of any problems created by using spaces in
hypertext links?

We have had problems with spaces in hyperlinks when the users uses some
(don't know which) Proxy's for internet connectivity. User's browser returns
"File not found" and looks for something like :
on Hyperlink: www.site.com/this is my file.htm

It looks for www.site.com/this%20is%20my%20file.htm Wich will work in some
cases coz the %20 can "be" a space but not all proxy's and browsers supports
this... Kinda Technical to explain but the concept remains.

As suggested by Rayne before: Rather use "_" like in:
www.site.com/this_is_my_file.htm
For me, It's just good "programming" practice
